The role was tailor-made for Rana thanks to his beefed up body.

However, not many are aware of the fact that Rana was not the initial choice to play Bhallaladeva’s role in Baahubali series.

Rana was quoted as saying:

”It just sounded so nice that I was supposed to play the role Khal Drogo was to play. I told the film’s producer Shobhu Yarlaggada, ‘I ‘m Khal Drogo’s replacement. That’s a cool start. Let’s do it’.”
