S. S. Rajamouli and Prabhas appeared together in 4 Telugu films between 2005 and 2025. Their highest-rated collaboration was Baahubali (2015 — 8.8/10). Films span Chatrapathi (2005) through Bāhubali: The Epic (2025).
The S. S. Rajamouli & Prabhas partnership
After 10 years apart, they came back together for Baahubali (2015). They didn't share a set between 2005 and 2015. Their work runs across 3 decades of Telugu cinema.
From Chatrapathi (2005) to Bāhubali: The Epic (2025). Baahubali 2 (2017, 8.2/10) is the underseen one in the catalogue.
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Chatrapathi; the 2020s to Bāhubali: The Epic. S. S. Rajamouli directed every film; Prabhas acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Before Chatrapathi (2005), Rajamouli was unsure about casting Prabhas because he thought the actor looked too 'urban and soft' for a rugged role. Prabhas convinced him by showing up to a meeting with a raw, unpolished look — no makeup, messy hair, and a lungi.
- On the sets of Baahubali (2015), Rajamouli would often whisper the exact emotion he wanted in a scene — like 'anger with a hint of sadness' — and Prabhas would deliver it in one take. The director later said Prabhas could 'read his mind' without needing multiple rehearsals.
- The success of Baahubali 2 (2017) directly led to the creation of the 'Baahubali: The Lost Legends' animated series on Amazon Prime — a project Rajamouli greenlit only because Prabhas agreed to voice the lead character again, years after the films wrapped.
- During the grueling 3-year shoot of Baahubali, Prabhas refused to take any other film offers — even big Bollywood ones — because Rajamouli asked him to stay fully committed. The actor later said he didn't even read those scripts out of loyalty.
- Rajamouli once said about Prabhas: 'He is the only actor I know who can carry a 40-kg sword and still make you believe he's floating on air.' He said this during the Baahubali 2 audio launch in 2017.
