Did You Know Sanjay Dutt Was The First Choice For Kattappa In Baahubali? Netizens Hail Dutt’s Decision Of Refusing The Project
In 2015, Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty and Tamannaah Bhatia starrer Baahubali: The Beginning changed the meaning of South Cinema. The film not only ruled the box-office but also ruled everyone's heart with the intriguing plot and a never-seen-before storyline. While the netizens loved the film with all their hearts, they had to wait for 2 years to know ‘Kattappa ne Baahubali ko kyu maara?” In 2017, everyone got their answer when Baahubali: The Conclusion released. The 2nd and final part not only solved many mysteries, but it also was an answer to many questions that were left unanswered in the first part. Both the parts were a record-breaking huge hit at the box-office.

But if you thought you are a big Baahubali fan then we are sure this piece of information may leave you stunned. Did you know, Sanjay Dutt was the first choice for Kattapa’s character in Baahubali? As per an ETimes report, before Sathyaraj, it was Sanjay Dutt who was originally asked to portray the character. However, things didn’t work out well as he was serving jail. Makers then finally decided to lock Sathyaraj for Kattappa’s role. But only the diehard fans of Baahubali know what magic he created and how beautifully he portrayed the role. As soon as the news hit the social media platform, netizens can’t thank God and Sanjay Dutt enough for refusing the role.

A user wrote, “Good decision that he didn't opt for this role..bcoz #sathyaraj totally nailed it in a unique way n no 1 can justfy this role better than him...,” while another said, “Acha hua nahi liye wrna nation ko Panipat movie pehle hi dekhne mil jati.” A Twitterati went on to say, “We are glad he did not go-ahead to be chosen! Would have been a complete disaster.” Read on a few more comments below:


Meanwhile, on July 10 Baahubali: The Beginning completed 5 years of its successful release. Celebrating the same, Prabhas shared a still from the film and wrote, “Here’s to the team that created magic! Celebrating #5YearsOfBaahubali The Beginning.” While Anushka Shetty wrote, “Thank u all for ur Love & Support #5YearsForBaahubal @kyarlagadda17.” (ALSO READ: Coronavirus Lockdown: Kapil Dev Goes Bald; Gets Compared To Kattapa From Bahubali And RDX From Welcome)
