Nayanthara who said no to Baahubali
Anushka played Devasena, a princess turned warrior. But she wasn't the first choice. Rajamouli initially wanted Nayanthara, but she turned it down as it required a two-year commitment.
Unwilling to commit two years to one film, Nayanthara rejected the offer, unaware it would change Indian cinema. Rajamouli then approached Anushka, who said yes and aced the role.
