Mumbai, Juhu – Krishna Villa
After the massive success of Robot, Krishna began searching for his next film. He asked Manoj to come over so they could discuss new offers.
"Krishna," Manoj said seriously,
"South Indian director S. S. Rajamouli wants to cast you in his next movie."
Krishna froze for a moment.
"A fantasy–historical film," Manoj continued.
"He hasn't revealed much, only that he wants you as the main character. What do you think? He's one of the biggest directors in South India, with multiple superhits."
Krishna was shocked.
Rajamouli.
A legendary name—someone who, in Krishna's previous life, would completely change Indian cinema.
Only one name echoed in his mind.
"Which movie, Manoj?" Krishna asked calmly, hiding his excitement.
"They said the film is called Baahubali," Manoj replied.
"He didn't explain much. He wants to meet you personally and discuss the script."
Krishna didn't hesitate.
"Tell him I agree," Krishna said firmly.
"Okay, Krishna," Manoj smiled
.
It was the first time he had seen Krishna this excited in a long while.
Krishna sat back on the sofa, his thoughts racing.
Baahubali.
The most iconic film in Indian cinema history.
In his previous life, he had only dreamed of playing a small role in it.
Now, he was being offered the male lead.
As soon as Rajamouli heard that Krishna had agreed, he didn't waste time. He flew to Mumbai and came directly to Krishna Villa.
"Hello, sir. My name is Krishna," Krishna said respectfully.
"Nice to meet you."
"Hello, Krishna," Rajamouli replied warmly.
"I'm a big fan of your films. Your performances feel very real."
They spoke for a while—about cinema, life, and their love for storytelling.
Then Rajamouli got straight to the point.
"Krishna," he said seriously,
"Baahubali is my dream project. I need at least three to five years to make this film properly."
Krishna listened carefully.
"This movie will be made in two parts," Rajamouli continued.
"The first part will have a budget of around ₹180 crore, and the second part will cross ₹200 crore."
Krishna already knew what this project would become.
Giving so many years to a single film was risky—but this was Baahubali.
"I agree," Krishna said without hesitation.
"And I'll help in any way I can."
Rajamouli looked surprised.
"You know my habit, sir," Krishna smiled.
"If a project is special, I give it everything."
Rajamouli smiled back.
"Then let's change Indian cinema," he said.
"Let's do it, sir," Krishna replied.
They shook hands.
The contract was signed.
Krishna would play the male lead in Baahubali—and not just that, he would also become a co-investor, covering nearly half the budget so the producers wouldn't face any financial pressure.
From that day on, Rajamouli and Krishna began working closely
developing the story, finalizing the cast, and planning shooting locations.
A new chapter in Indian cinema had begun.
Rajamouli and Krishna began working closely on the story. With Krishna's guidance, the script started developing faster than it had in his previous life.
"Krishna," Rajamouli said one day,
"you will play both roles—Baahubali the father and Baahubali the son. In the first part, you'll need intense physical training. Baahubali's strength must feel real on screen."
Krishna nodded without hesitation.
"Okay, sir. I'll work hard."
From that day, Krishna dedicated himself completely. He began training in sword fighting, horse riding, and intense physical conditioning. At the same time, the story development moved rapidly because Krishna used his memories from his previous life to help Rajamouli refine scenes, emotions, and pacing.
Many key scenes were finalized early.
Eight Months Later
Krishna stood in front of the mirror, flexing his body.
He no longer looked like a movie star—he looked like Baahubali.
His physique had transformed exactly the way Rajamouli had envisioned. Seeing Krishna's dedication, Rajamouli felt confident that his dream character had finally come to life.
During this long journey, Krishna and Rajamouli spent countless hours together. Their professional relationship slowly turned into a strong friendship. Using his past-life experience, Krishna helped rebuild Baahubali even better than before—stronger emotions, sharper conflicts, and grander scale.
Once the script was complete, they began selecting the cast.
Rajamouli and Krishna sat together on the sofa, reviewing the final list.
"Krishna," Rajamouli said,
"this cast is perfect. I like your choices. Everything looks right."
Krishna smiled.
"Thank you, sir."
"Then we're ready," Rajamouli continued.
"Let's begin pre-production."
"Yes, sir," Krishna replied confidently.
Every actor Krishna selected was the same as in his previous life. One by one, all of them agreed to join the project. The excitement grew rapidly, and soon everyone realized this was not just another film—
This was going to be India's first true pan-India epic.
Production House
Rajamouli and Krishna completed all pre-production work in a short time. Shooting locations were finalized, action sequences were planned, and the entire schedule was locked. Soon, the film officially moved into production.
"Krishna, we'll start shooting in three days. Are you ready?"
Rajamouli asked.
"Sir, I've been waiting for this,"
Krishna replied confidently.
1 December 2011
Athirappilly Falls, Kerala
The film's shooting began with a powerful waterfall sequence. One scene after another was filmed smoothly. Krishna's performance was at the highest level, and Rajamouli repeatedly retook shots—not because they were bad, but because he wanted absolute perfection. Every time, Krishna delivered exactly what the scene demanded.
After completing the waterfall and village sequences, the team moved on to the grand Mahishmati Palace scenes.
Ramoji Film City
Large-scale sets were constructed at Ramoji Film City. Many crucial scenes, including songs, were filmed there. Krishna often suggested improvements based on his previous life's experience, and every suggestion worked perfectly.
1 June 2012 – Shooting Completed
With filming wrapped up, Rajamouli and Krishna moved into post-production. VFX and CGI work began immediately. Once most of the technical work was underway, both of them finally got some time to breathe.
That night, Rajamouli spoke honestly.
"Krishna, I've never seen an actor like you. Your dedication, discipline, and kindness are rare. You are already a perfect pan-India star. This film will release at a pan-India level, but if our VFX quality reaches higher standards, we can even go pan-Asia."
Krishna smiled humbly.
"Thank you, sir. I'll work even harder in the future."
Release Planning
After careful discussion, the release date was finalized.
10 October 2012
Only the film's title and a short teaser were released. Even without revealing much, the movie was announced as a pan-Asia project.
Media houses immediately exploded with news.
"Krishna's new film after Robot—a two-year wait finally ends."
"This is Krishna's biggest-budget film so far."
"Many production houses are shifting their release dates to avoid a clash with Krishna."
The hype was massive
.
Even before Part 1 released, Rajamouli and Krishna had already completed pre-production for Part 2.
10 October 2012 – Release Day
The film released across India on a massive scale.
Krishna and Rajamouli watched public reactions on television. For them, audience love mattered more than numbers.
Across South India and North India, Krishna's fans went crazy with advance bookings.
Public Reviews
"Krishna's best performance of all time."
"The greatest movie in Indian cinema history."
