The key roles of warrior kings enacted by Prabhas and Rana in Bahubali Movie are asked to put on weight to add 10 to 15 kg by the director Rajamouli.
They are made to do workouts and eat non-vegetarian food to get the right shape required for the roles. As per the time of the story their bodies should be heavy but not shapely.
It is not new to the stars to make a lot of efforts to make their appearances to match the roles they play. Unlike in olden times, the heroes of the present day are making lot of sacrifices to fit in to the roles. Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai put on a lot of weight for the movie ‘Guru’. Amir Khan made work outs to get 6 packs for ‘Gajini’ and again lost all those muscles for the sake of ‘3 Idiots’.
For Bahubali Anuskha also lost some weight few months back in addition to the training in fights. Lovers of old movies praise the old movies and actors for their devotion. But the present day actors’s devotion is not at all small compared to the old ones. Now it is a more difficult feat to keep up the pace.
It is all allure the audience. That is why the audience love the actors to become hardcore fans.
