Baahubali Director SS Rajamouli Reveals Cheat-Day Meal Secret Of Prabhas And Rana, It Includes 15 Types Of Biryanis [WATCH VIDEO]

Baahubali franchise actors Prabhas and Rana Daggubati had set some serious fitness goals for the biggest Indian movie. Both the actors had shown their dedication in the work and followed a strict diet during the film. Not to forget, each and every person involved with the magnum opus Baahubali is equally responsible for the unimaginable success of the movie.

They really worked so hard to their chiseled physique in director SS Rajamouli’s all-time blockbuster Baahubali. As the saying tells ‘Great bodies are made in the kitchen, not the gym’, both the actors were on a strict diet to maintain their muscular frame that made most men in India feel out of shape.

But, to do so, they shouldn’t eat whatever they like, in fact, they must follow the diet for the outcome. It is so hard to maintain such diet for almost five years. It is said that the actors would indulge in their favorite food items on the cheat days as part of their fitness regime.

In a media interaction in London, director SS Rajamouli shared a fun fact about Prabhas’ diet for Baahubali. Whenever Prabhas had a chance to take a break from his diet regime, he would eat at least 15 varieties of Biryani. Even though he eat such food, he would work out hard to get off the calories gained from the food.

People who are regretting their cheat meal mistakes, this would find some relief after knowing Prabhas and Rana’s cheat day meal. Despite having so much on his platter to indulge in, Prabhas wouldn’t start eating his grand cheat day meal without chutney.

“Once in a month, they will have a cheat meal day. On that day, you should see the kind of display Prabhas has. 10-15 kinds of biriyanis, just biriyanis. No exaggeration. You don’t even know those varieties of biryanis even exist. Varieties of fish, chicken, mutton, and not just curries, even fries. You can’t just imagine the kind of display he has,” Rajamouli recalled.

“We played football that day until 2 AM, and after finishing the game, he came and sat down to eat with all the varieties of food displayed in front of him. Prabhas asked his brother in law, where is the chutney. His brother in law went to his home, woke up his wife at 2 AM, made the chutney and brought it to the spot. Prabhas first ate that and continued eating (the rest of the dishes). So, that is Prabhas for you,” said the director.

As the story demands, Prabhas had to gain a lot of weight to play Amarendra Baahubali in the second part. He was reportedly around 120 kg while playing this iconic role. And soon after the movie completed, he had to lose weight for his next movie ‘Saaho’. Prabhas was seen posing with stylist Aalim Hakim in a new avatar.

Director Sujeeth is directing the movie and recently Bollywood actor Neil Nitin Mukesh also confirmed that he is playing the antagonist in the film. The shooting is expected to begin in the month of July. However, we should definitely appreciate the hard work and the dedication of both the actors for the magnum opus movie Baahubali.
