For Telugu superstar Prabhas, it was not easy to play the dual role of a father and son in the upcoming multi-lingual two-part epic drama “Baahubali” as he had to undergo a strict diet and training regime.
Prabhas, who is sporting two different looks in the SS Rajamouli directed film — a heavy body for the father Baahubali and a lean physique for his son Shivudu, said he is getting nervous thinking about the fate of the movie.
“I am just waiting for the release of ‘Baahubali’. I am both nervous and excited about whether the people will like the film or not. I really worked hard for it especially on my physique. Sometimes I used to take only eggs for 30-40 days to get into shape for one character,” Prabhas told PTI.
The actor, who was last seen in Telugu action-drama “Mirchi”, said he learnt sword fighting, kick-boxing, kung-fu and horse riding for “Baahubali”.
“For the action sequences, we did a lot of sword fighting with Vietnamese fighters. Peter Hein’s choreographed the action sequences and taught us kick-boxing, kung-fu, horse riding.
“A shot in one of the songs in the movie required me to jump from a hill into a waterfall. That shot required 25 days of shoot as before that we had to train for rock climbing,” Prabhas said.
