Each and every ability I spoke about that day was incorporated into Magadheera. He pushes you beyond your potential, introducing you to a brand new version of yourself.`

Prabhas on Rajamouli's Dedication

Prabhas, who worked with Rajamouli on the epic 'Baahubali', shared anecdotes about the director's commitment to his work. `When we were shooting in Mahabaleshwar, he gave us a nice hotel, but he stayed in a different, less comfortable place to save the budget.
