But the Baahubali director regrets not directing the film now and Vijayendra Prasad blames himself for it. As per Tollywood.net, Vijayendra Prasad said to a leading daily, “I chose the wrong time to narrate the story. I narrated the story of Rajamouli when he was shooting the war sequences. It was peak time for us and he was fully focused on the shoot. I should have picked a proper time to narrate the story to my son.”
