Amarendra Baahubali Was Written Only For Prabhas, Says SS Rajamouli

It’s been years since Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion shattered records and changed the landscape of Indian cinema, but filmmaker SS Rajamouli just dropped a behind-the-scenes revelation that has reignited fan admiration.

Speaking at a recent event, Rajamouli confirmed what many had long speculated:

“The character of Amarendra Baahubali was written only with Prabhas in mind. No other actor was ever considered.”

👑 Prabhas Was the First and Only Choice

Rajamouli explained that right from the film's inception, Prabhas embodied the physicality, grace, and emotional depth required for Amarendra Baahubali — the noble prince and warrior.

“We knew we needed someone who could balance power with vulnerability, and Prabhas had that aura. He gave five years of his life to this project without any second thoughts.”

🎬 A Role That Became Legendary

From intense battle scenes to tender father-son moments, Prabhas brought layers and humanity to a character that could’ve easily become one-dimensional. His commitment, physique transformation, and ability to portray dual roles (Amarendra and Mahendra Baahubali) won him praise not just in India, but across the globe.

💬 Fans React to the Revelation

Social media is buzzing with renewed love for Prabhas and Rajamouli’s visionary storytelling:

🗣️ “No one else could have played Baahubali. Thank you Rajamouli for giving us Prabhas in this role!”
