A still from Baahubali: The Beginning.
On that note, have you seen Rana Daggubati's new look as Bhallala Deva? Rana garnered immense critical acclaim for playing the mean king in S S Rajamouli's magnum opus Baahubali: The Beginning, which released in 2015. For six months, Rana trained in martial arts and followed a rigorous regime for his warrior look.

In the sequel, scheduled to release on April 28, 2017, Rana will be playing a younger version of Bhallala Deva. Talking about his new look for Baahubali 2 Rana told news agency IANS: "The older Bhallala is stronger and beefier. So, I weighed around 108-110 kg for some portions in both the films. His younger version is strong too, but leaner. So I lost a few kilos for that. My weight has dropped to 92-93 kg now."
