Rumour had it recently that Madhuri Dixit-Nene was all set to star in SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali Returns as Anushka Shetty’s sister.

A source adds, “There are all kinds of rumours and speculations flitting around about the Baahubali sequel. We don’t know where the one involving Madhuri came from because there is no truth to it. Websites have even created the role of Anushka Shetty’s sister for Madhuri in Baahubali 2. But so far, there is no new addition to the cast at all.”

Madhuri, who made a buzzworthy comeback with two releases Dedh Ishqiya and Gulab Gang hasn’t signed anything since. However, both films tanked, leaving her with no new offers. An announcement, confirming her presence in one of the highest grossing Indian films ever, would have been a welcome respite for the actress.

However, that isn’t to be. When contacted, Rajamouli simply sai?d?, “There is no Madhuri Dixit in Baahubali 2.”
