Maintaining that Baahubali body wasn’t easy. Setting new fitness goals for the rest of the country was an arduous process for Prabhas and Rana Daggubati. Both actors were on strict diets while preparing and shooting for Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. However, they are only human, and to keep themselves sane, the actors would, once in a while, indulge in a cheat day!
Now guess what Prabhas ate on his cheat day. Hear it from director SS Rajamouli.
On that day, you should see the kind of display Prabhas has. 10-15 kinds of biryanis, just biryanis. No exaggeration. You don’t even know those varieties of biryanis even exist. Varieties of fish, chicken, mutton, and not just curries, even fries!SS Rajamouli, Director, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion
That’s not all however. It seems that Prabhas had quite eccentric demands on his cheat days.
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 (other dishes). So, that is Prabhas for you.
On the other hand, co-star Anuskha Shetty says she went on “many” diets.
