Inspiration for 'Baahubali-2' interval scene is Pawan Kalyan

It's commonplace for writers to make fortuitous discoveries. When and from where they get inspiration for a sequence just can't be estimated.
When Vijayendra Prasad had a block while writing the interval bang of 'Baahubali-2', he made one such accidental discovery. "I happened to switch on the TV. An audio release function was being aired. Whenever someone mentioned Pawan Kalyan's name, the audience screamed in delirium. Nothing else could be heard for another five minutes. No matter which hero it was on the dais, he would surely have felt jealous. I got inspired by this in writing the interval episode. During his coronation, Bhallaladeva is utterly jealous when the kingdom's people hail Baahubali aloud," Vijayendra Prasad has told a popular Telugu-language daily.
In fact, there must surely have been a few who remembered the climax scene from 'Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu', where Pawan and lakhs of people who have assembled at a hotel create tremors with their stomping. Something similar happens in the interval bang of 'Baahubali-2'.
