I have heard that the name and places of Baahubali: The Beginning are taken from real history. But I have also heard that its quite inspired from [Mahabharata][1] for the character of Kattappa which is inspired from [Bhishma][2] and it did felt like that. So how much of the film is based on old history of India? Is there any official commentary on it? [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahabharata [2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhishma
