As Bahubali became a phenomenon in the archives of the history of Indian cinema, many wondered what the actors were like, behind the larger-than-life magnanimous avatars that they played. A lesser known fact is that actor Prabhas’ voice for the Hindi version of the film, which grossed almost Rs 500 crore worldwide, was not his original voice. Actor Sharad Kelker voiced the protagonist for the Hindi versions of the film. Kelkar’s rich baritone went so perfectly with Prabhas’ machismo and sheer strength that audiences remained enthralled.
Kelkar recently shared a picture of the two together in one frame for the first time. Prabhas, who has come down to Mumbai for a visit, met Kelkar for the first time.

Kelkar voiced Prabhas’ character for both the Bahubali films — once as the mercurial son Mahendra and then the judicious father Amarendra Bahubali.
Prabhas also met KGF: Chapter 1 protagonist Yash while in the city. Both actors have had considerable success in the genre of action drama in their respective films. Yash and Prabhas exchanged pleasantries and followed it up with a brief chat . The two even posed for the media during their meeting.
