Throwback: Prabhas' drastic transformation for SS Rajamouli's Baahubali: The Beginning

Ace filmmaker SS Rajamouli's magnum opus ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’ was not just one of Prabhas' most acclaimed films, but also proved to be the turning point in his career. In order to get into the skin of the character, the southern superstar even underwent intensive training! Prabhas had gained a massive 20 kgs for his role in the film. If that wasn’t enough, he also interacted with the WWF wrestlers in order to know their training regimen.

According to his trainer, they followed the old-school methods which included working on one body part like chest, arms, and legs each day.

We must say, all of this hard work has definitely paid rich dividends and that the results are for everyone to see. Today, Prabhas has emerged as not just one of the most sought-after actors, but also one of the most bankable actors in the entertainment business.

From Baahubali: The Beginning and its sequel Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) to doing films like Adipurush and Radhe Shyam, Prabhas has surely carved a remarkable niche for himself.
