One
of
the
biggest
films
in
Indian
Cinema,
SS
Rajamouli's
directorial
venture
Baahubali:
The
Beginning
completes
5
years
today.
On
this
special
occasion,
actor
Prabhas
shared
a
glimpse
of
his
warrior
look
on
Instagram.
He
captioned
the
snap,
"Here's
to
the
team
that
created
magic!
Celebrating
#5YearsOfBaahubali
The
Beginning."
Well,
SS
Rajamouli
took
5
years
to
make
magnum
opus
like
Baahubali:
The
Beginning
and
Baahubali:
The
Conclusion,
in
which
we
got
the
answer
to
the
million
dollar
question-
why
Katappa
killed
Baahubali?
Baahubali
stars
Prabhas,
Rana
Daggubati,
Anushka
Shetty,
Tamannaah
Bhatia,
Ramya
Krishnan,
Sathyaraj,
Nassar
and
other
big
stars
from
the
South
film
industry.
Baahubali
was
shot
in
Telugu
and
Tamil
simultaneously
and
dubbed
in
Malayalam
and
Hindi.
It
was
the
first
pan-India
project
of
Prabhas'
career.
Making
Baahubali
was
indeed
a
challenge
for
SS
Rajamouli.
But
do
you
know
some
interesting
stories
behind
the
making?
Have
a
look:
Baahubali’s
Script
Was
Particularly
Written
For
Prabhas
One
of
the
co-writers
of
Baahubali:
The
Beginning,
Shobu
Yarlagadda
revealed
in
a
Times
of
India
interview
that
they
wrote
the
script,
particularly
for
Prabhas.
In
the
interview,
Shobu
said,
"Prabhas
was
the
only
option
to
play
the
lead
because
the
script
was
written
for
him.
The
whole
thing
started
with
Prabhas
playing
the
main
character."
Difficulties
To
Cast
An
Actress
For
The
Role
Of
Sivagami
Baahubali
films
are
incomplete
without
Sivagami.
We
all
know
that
Ramya
Krishnan
effortlessly
portrayed
the
role
of
Sivagami
(Baahubali's
mother)
in
the
film.
But
do
you
know,
the
Criminal
actress
was
not
the
first
choice
for
the
role?
Yes,
you
read
that
right!
Before
Ramya
Krishnan,
legendary
actress
Sridevi
was
approached
for
Sivagami's
role.
However,
her
staggering
remuneration
and
other
extra
demands
forced
makers
to
opt
for
Ramya
Krishnan.
Interestingly,
she
didn't
disappoint
and
owned
the
character.
Hard
Work
On
Prabhas’
Physique
Prabhas
worked
very
hard
for
Baahubali.
Considering
the
demand
for
the
character
Baahubali,
the
makers
gifted
Prabhas
gym
equipment
worth
Rs
1.5
crore
to
shape
his
physique
for
Amarendra
Baahubali's
character.
The
workout
routine
was
monitored
by
professional
trainer
Laxman
Reddy.
The
Rebel
star
also
followed
a
diet
plan
which
consisted
of
fish,
egg
whites,
vegetables
and
almonds.
The
actor
had
six
meals
every
day
which
didn't
include
rice.
Prabhas
used
to
intake
around
2000
to
4000
calories
a
day
while
shooting
for
Baahubali.
The
Creation
Of
Kiliki
Language
Baahubali
turned
out
to
be
the
first
Indian
film
to
create
a
new
language
Kiliki
for
a
warrior
tribe
called
Kalakeyas.
Kiliki
has
750
words
with
40
grammar
rules.
How
interesting?!
Efforts
For
CGI
Baahubali:
The
Beginning
involved
almost
90
per
cent
of
Computer
Generated
Imagery
(GGI)
and
graphics
with
4500-5000
visual
effects
(VFX)
shots.
Around
hundreds
of
artists
from
over
15
visual
effects
and
animation
companies
worked
on
the
project.
V
Srinivas
worked
as
the
lead
VFX
supervisor
for
Baahubali:
The
Beginning.
