Baahubali: The Beginning
Rajamouli said that, “My all movies are in parallel with Ramayana and Mahabharata, specially the Mahabharata. The Mahendra Bahubali’s resembling Vrishaketu who had to stay away from his royal family but at the end, he got the kingdom of Indraprastha. It also takes inspiration from Karna’s teenage life. Shivudu’s foster parents are in way similar to Adhirath and Radha. Since birth, both Karna and Bahubali are divine and thus nobody can stop their curiosity as a warrior. Sivagami resembles Kunti. Amarendra Bahubali is a mix of the virtuous Rama and the ever charming hero Karna. Both Bahubali and Karna were killed through deceit unfairly. Devasena is Sita from Ramayana. Avantika is drawn in parallel with Vrushali, friend of Karna since his teenage days.”
