Baahubali
2:
The
Conclusion
continues
its
reign
at
the
box
office.
Ever
since
the
release
of
its
movie,
we
have
been
hearing
a
lot
about
the
inside
stories
of
the
project
and
now
some
reports
are
doing
the
rounds
in
connection
with
Baahubali
and
Mohanlal.
Rumours
are
rife
that
actor
Mohanlal
was
one
among
the
actors,
who
was
approached
to
play
an
important
role
in
Baahubali,
directed
by
SS
Rajamouli.
In
The
Shoes
Of
Kattappa?
If
some
of
the
reports
doing
the
rounds
are
to
be
believed,
Mohanlal
was
the
initial
choice
for
the
role
of
Kattappa,
which
has
been
portrayed
by
actor
Sathyaraj
in
the
film.
Reportedly,
Mohanlal
had
to
back
out
of
the
project
since
he
couldn't
allot
bulk
dates
for
the
movie.
Rajamouli
Is
A
Huge
Fan
Of
Mohanlal
Film-maker
Rajamouli
is
an
ardent
fan
of
Mohanlal.
The
film-maker
has
been
a
huge
fan
of
Mohanlal
since
his
childhood
days
and
has
opened
up
his
interest
to
work
with
actor.
When
Rajamouli
Planned
A
Project
With
Mohanlal
Reportedly,
Rajamouli
had
planned
to
direct
Mohanlal,
approximately
16
years
back.
The
film-maker
had
planned
to
make
a
historical
movie
with
Mohanlal
and
he
made
a
few
sketches
of
Mohanlal's
character
with
the
help
of
Sabu
Cyril.
Unfortunately,
the
project
didn't
take
off
due
to
various
reasons
and
later
those
sketches
were
used
for
one
of
the
songs
of
the
film
Kilichundan
Mampazham.
Rumours
Regarding
Garuda..
After
the
release
of
Baahubali:
The
Beginning,
rumours
wer
rife
regarding
an
SS
Rajamouli
project
with
Mohanlal
in
the
lead
role.
Reports
came
in
that
the
film-maker
would
direct
the
complete
actor
for
a
film
named
Garuda,
but
later
all
those
were
dismissed
as
mere
rumours.
Nayanthra
Was
The
First
Choice
For
Devasena?
Here
is
another
Malayalam
artist,
who
was
supposedly
approached
for
an
important
role
in
the
movie.
Reports
are
doing
the
rounds
that,
popular
South
Indian
actress
Nayanthara
was
the
initial
choice
for
the
role
of
Devasena,
in
Baahubali.
Well,
there
are
no
official
confirmation
on
the
reports,
but
one
thing
is
for
sure,
it
would
have
been
really
a
proud
moment
for
Keralites,
if
Mohanlal
and
Nayanthara
were
a
part
of
the
prestigious
project.
Coming
to
Mohanlal,
it
should
also
be
noted
that
the
actor
is
now,
one
of
the
most
popular
other
language
actors
in
Tollywood.
Recent
movies
like
Janatha
Garage,
Manamanth
and
Manyam
Puli,
the
Telugu
dubbed
version
of
Pulimurugan,
boosted
Mohanlal's
popularity
in
Telugu
speaking
regions.
Well,
let
us
hope
that
we
would
get
to
see
a
movie
from
the
team
of
Mohanlal
&
SS
Rajamouli
in
the
future.
