Did you know: Hrithik Roshan and John Abraham were the original choices for SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali?
SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus Baahubali is all set to release today. The film, which has been made in Telugu and Tamil simultaneously has been later dubber in Hindi, Malayalam and many other languages. However, not many know that the film was originally supposed to be shot as a trilingual. Yes, SS Rajamouli also wanted to shoot the film in Hindi and that too with Hrithik Roshan and John Abraham in the lead. Sounds wow, hai na?
Sadly, it didn’t happen. Sources claim that SS Rajamouli had sent both John Abraham and Hrithik Roshan the script for Baahubali asking them for a narration time. However, on getting no reverts from them for long, he chose to move ahead and make the movie only in Telugu and Tamil with Prabhas and Rana Daggubati as the lead characters. Both John and Hrithik were busy during that time with other Bollywood projects and it can be possible that because of that they didn’t pick up the movie. Maybe, three years back they didn’t think that this film will move ahead to become India’s biggest motion picture ever. Hai na? Speculations can be many, but we can’t be sure of any!
