Bahubali today is not a film but a legacy, Rana Daggubati said on his character Bhallaldev

News India Live, Digital Desk: S.S., who changed the history of Indian cinema. Who can forget Rajamouli’s masterpiece ‘Bahubali’? This film not only made mountains of money at the box office, but also made its characters immortal. Actor Rana Daggubati, who plays the character of ‘Bhallaldev’ in the film, says that the film has become more beautiful with time and now it is not just a film but has become a legacy.

‘Bahubali’ a memorable journey

In a recent interview, Rana refreshed his memories related to this film and said that the story of ‘Baahubali’ and its characters have created a special place in the hearts of people. He thanked the audience and said that it is because of them that the film has reached this stage. The character of Bhallaldev made Rana one of the most memorable villains of Indian cinema, for which he is still recognized worldwide.

Interestingly, Rana was not the first choice for this role. Rajamouli and his team had initially considered Hollywood star Jason Momoa of ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Aquaman’ fame for this role. This shows that Rajamouli wanted to take this film to a global level from the beginning.

Now ‘Baahubali’ in the world of animation

The legacy of Baahubali now continues in a new form. Recently, an animated series named ‘Baahubali: Crown of Blood’ has been released on Disney+ Hotstar, which shows the world before the story of the film. Rana is very excited about this series. He congratulated Rajamouli, Arka Media and Disney+ Hotstar for carrying forward this legacy. In this series, Baahubali and Bhallaldev are shown facing huge demons to protect Mahishmati.

Bhallaldev’s character will always be special

Rana believes that playing a character like Bhallaldev was a turning point in his career. When asked in an interview whether he regretted not getting the role of Bahubali, he jokingly said, “No, but two Bahubali were needed to kill me.” His answer shows how much he is connected to his character.

Today, almost 10 years have passed since the release of ‘Baahubali’, but its magic still remains. For Rana Daggubati, this is not just a film, but an experience that changed his life forever.
