Shobu Yarlagadda, one of the producers of the 'Baahubali' series, has raised a toast to Prabhas and Rana Daggubati's dedication. "If Prabhas was our super cool warrior, Rana Daggubati was our most vocal believer in 'Baahubali'. Thanks to both of you!" he has tweeted. Calling Rana the most vocal believer is understandable because it was because of his active intervention that Karan Johar bought 'The Beginning' for a whopping Rs. 50 Cr! The rest, as they say, is history.

The producer is wowed by Prabhas' unflinching dedication right from mid-2013. "Honestly, didn't keep track of #Prabhas dates! didn't need to! His dates came wth no strings attached! Such was his commitment to #Baahubali," he says. After the success of 'Mirchi', Prabhas had to forgo dozens of offers for the sake of Rajamouli's magnum opus. Not only have these sacrifices paid off for him and others, but also that he got the stellar recognition of his wax statue being set up at Madame Tussauds.
