Being a part of a period thriller is not easy for the best of actors. Hrithik Roshan was perfect as a warrior king. It is now the turn of Prabhas and even Anushka to show how good they can be at period dramas.
As the cast of Bahubali, both actors have set their personal goals high. Anushka wants a six pack and no less. She has hired a personal trainer to give her already fit body a tougher look. Anushka's abs are a high point for Bahubali as well as Rudramadevi. In Rudramadevi, her role as a Rani has enormous potential for showcasing the strength of a woman.
Meanwhile, Prabhas is not worried about his fitness. It is his horse riding skills that are making him concerned. Prabhas has a tall frame and a heavy body. Though he suits the role in Bahubali well, skills such as horse riding are necessary for the portrayal of a warrior. It looks as if he is giving the horses a hard time because he is intent on mastering the troublesome art of horse riding. Fighting from atop a horse is the next skill to master.
The last time we saw such a feast to the eyes was in Magadheera, where Ram Charan rocked the horse riding scenes. Cherry by no means has the build of what the character requires. It's stars such as Prabhas who carry the costumes off well. If only he would ride that horse well.
Anushka and Prabhas are working hard for Bahubali and the result will show later.
