Was Anushka Shetty body shamed and then dropped from THIS mega-action film with her Baahubali co-star Prabhas?

As a dedicated follower of the enchanting world of Indian cinema, I must say that the electrifying chemistry between Anushka Shetty and Prabhas in the Baahubali franchise was nothing short of magical. The anticipation for their reunion on the silver screen has been palpable, much like the air before a thunderstorm.


The unique on-screen dynamics between Anushka Shetty and Prabhas, showcased in the Baahubali series, have yet to be surpassed. Their outstanding performances have sparked immense enthusiasm among viewers, who eagerly anticipate seeing them collaborate again in a movie. Interestingly, you might not know that following the triumph of the action epic, Anushka Shetty was originally planned to work alongside Prabhas on another film.

Indeed, as you’ve gathered, following the double triumphs of the Baahubali series, there were discussions about Anushka Shetty reteaming with Prabhas for the 2019 film Saaho. Yet, unfortunately, the final decision didn’t result in her being cast for the role.

According to BollywoodLife reports from before, Anushka was unable to secure the project due to being overweight. However, sources close to the situation have disclosed that she was making a concerted effort to slim down and was even putting in long hours at the gym. Despite her efforts yielding positive results, the producers of Saaho took issue with this and ultimately decided to remove her from the film entirely.

Ultimately, it was Shraddha Kapoor who earned the role as the female lead alongside the ‘Rebel Star’ in the movie, which went on to be a huge success at the box office.

Despite any rumors or speculation, Anushka and Prabhas have always kept a friendly relationship. In reality, they’ve only had nice things to say about one another, contradicting assumptions that they dated off-screen.

On the talk show “Koffee With Karan”, Prabhas, along with SS Rajamouli and Rana Daggubati, clarified the speculations about his relationship with Anushka Shetty.

It’s common knowledge in the movie business that two actors are often perceived as a couple, even when they aren’t actually dating off-screen.

Prabhas clarified, “Collaborating with someone for two years naturally creates a bond. However, let me make it clear that I was not in a romantic relationship with Anushka. If you’d like to know more, feel free to ask Rajamouli. As for dating her, well, that’s something I haven’t done.

In terms of upcoming projects, Prabhas is involved in films such as Spirit, The Raja Saab, Salaar 2, and more to be announced. Meanwhile, Anushka’s lineup includes Ghaati and Kathanar-The Wild Sorcerer.
