The shoot of the climax portion of SS Rajamouli's upcoming Baahubali - The Conclusion began on Monday.

According to reports, the war sequence will kick off a 10-week shooting schedule that is expected to wrap up by August.

The climax alone has a reported cost of Rs 30 crore, which is higher than most movie budgets in Tamil cinema. Special sets have been erected at Hyderabad's Ramoji Film City, designed by National-Award-winning art director Sabu Cyril. Actor Prabhas has been rehearsing for the action sequences — which also feature Rana Dagubatti, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Anushka Shetty — for nearly two months.

The war sequences are being executed by experts renowned for their work in Hollywood films. Lee Whittaker (Fast & Furious 5, Into the Storm, Pearl Harbor, Jurassic Park 3) is the film's action director, who is working in collaboration with "Brad Allan and his team, known for their work on the Kingsman series; Larnell Stovall, who worked on The Hunger Games series and Salman Khan’s Sultan; and Morne Van Tonder, who had worked in The Hobbit franchise," said a report by The Quint.
