Theory: Sakithan is the slave who drops the rope while raising Bhallaladeva's statue on his birthday celebration - and the one who recognizes Baahubali and says his name. Sakithan is saved by Amarendra Baahubali who jumps after him and lifts him up (with help) with a rope; after years of enslavement for treason he is "saved" again when Mahendra Baahubali catches the rope he drops and lifts him back up. Bonus: Bhalla pulls up Sakithan by rope; then Sakithan pulls up Bhalla's statue by rope. Both times Baahubali shows mercy over punishment to Sakithan.
