If we think about the biggest blockbuster of Hindi Cinema till date, one name instantly strikes our minds and that is none other than Baahubali. In actual fact, “Baahubali 2: The Conclusion” is Indian film industry’s biggest movie so far. The flick was able to set an unmatched record on box office in terms of collections and it will be very difficult for any other movie to surpass the figures set by the magnum opus. What’s more, it’s the first ever movie which made it to the Rs. 1,000 crore club in merely 9 days.
Baahubali’s craze can be witnessed by the essential fact that it has succeeded in breaking barriers across industries and has done exceptionally good business in every version. The man behind the epic, SS Rajamouli, has widely been acclaimed for his excellent style of storytelling in a magnificent manner. Additionally, the flick has given Prabhas a worldwide recognition and now, the audience is simply crazy about him.
On the question of his biggest compliment so far, Prabhas told this to Hindustan Times during an interview:
“I think the fact that Rajamouli sir wrote the character of Baahubali for me has been the biggest compliment in itself. (Before I started shooting) I would always wonder how I would ever justify a character of such nature. He also confessed about the pressure he felt while shooting – Just imagine things such as a big budget, a grand release and multilingual versions. How can anyone take it lightly? I had never experienced such an emotion before (in my career). It’s difficult for me to put it down in words.
Prabhas added,
“All the movies from my filmography can be on one side and Baahubali can stand solo on the other side. I was actually very tensed (during the shoot) and wanted to make sure that everyone is content and satisfied with my work.”
In Baahubali, Prabhas portrayed two characters, Amarendra Baahubali as well as his son Shivudu. Quite naturally, to play each of the roles to the perfection, the actor had to undergo different transformations and he fully justified with every role by giving his 100%.
