However, it is Amitabh Bachchan who truly stands out in this movie. From the beginning to the end of the film his character is given significant importance. The film opens and closes with his presence and his role is prominently elevated throughout, even overshadowing Prabhas in several action scenes. Amitabh’s character seems designed to showcase his talents and his grand reveal before the interval and key fight scenes in the second half have left the audience in awe. His look, makeup and body language are impressive and he plays a crucial role as the protector of Deepika’s character bridging the Mahabharata elements with the current storyline.
While Prabhas is officially the lead hero, much of the film’s narrative revolves around Amitabh’s character by making him a central figure in the story. This has particularly pleased the North Indian audience who have appreciated the substantial focus on Amitabh.
