New Language Invented For Baahubali

Kalakeya seems to be one of the interesting character from Baahubali. The demonic warlord is played by Prabhakar of Maryada Ramanna fame. When he was called on to the stage at Baahubali audio, he was conversing with anchor Suma in a peculiarly sounding language. It is said to be Kiliki which was invented exclusively for the movie. Madhan Karky is the one who invented it. Madhan is popular Tamil lyricist and dialogue writer. He is son of veteran lyricist Vairamuthu. In his recent interview Madhan has revealed the details of the language that he has invented. Kiliki is said to have 750 words with 40 grammar rules.
The actors interpreted the language with the help of reference documents provided to them while shooting. Well it is not the first time filmmakers have experimented with languages. Remember Chantabbayi, Jandhyala directorial comedy film where Chiranjeevi communicates with Suhasini in ‘Ka’ language. Later in one of Tamil super hits ‘Tamil Padam’ had a song which has typical words that doesn’t have any literal meaning. The film was later remade as Sudigaduin Telugu and it too had a song hardly have any sense and both the songs turned out to be a hit.
Even in Rajamouli’s hit film Sye there was a song where lead pair Nithiin and Genelia croons over whatever they come across on the road. Now he has this new language included in his epic entertainer. Among many interesting aspects being unfolded about Baahubali, Kiliki is one of them. Who knows people might end up conversing in this raw language after the release of the film.
