During a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Kiccha Sudeep said, “I don’t think I missed being in second part. SS Rajamouli is the owner of that thought. He has the sole right to decide what needs to be done.”
Kiccha Sudeep played the character of Aslam Khan, an Arabian weapon’s dealer who befriends Sathyaraj’s Kattappa. He did not return in the second movie of the blockbuster franchise, which starred Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah Bhatia and Ramya Krishnan.

Sudeep asserted that he believes his character wouldn’t have fit in the screenplay of Baahubali: The Conclusion. “I think there were too many things happening in Baahubali, so my character coming in between… I don’t know how it operated for them but I was not called for Baahubali 2, so I think I’ll leave it there. I don’t want to question it at all.”

Sudeep, who’s previously collaborated with Rajamouli in Eega added, “We all joined together and gave it a push and it started moving very fast. And I couldn’t catch up with it.”
