Wamiqa Gabbi confuses her fans with claims of being part of Baahubali. In a recent interview actor talked about how she was roped in for Baahubali but her statement left fans of the Prabhas-starrer confused. When Baahubali was released in 2015, it brought a revolution in Indian cinema Director SS Rajamouli, actors Prabhas, Anushka Shetty, Rana Daggubati and Tamannaah Bhatia became overnight sensations, with Ramya Krishnan also receiving love for her performance.

Wamiqa Gabbi said, ‘I was a part of Baahubali’

In a video clip shared on social media, Wamiqa tells Filmy Gyan that she was training for Baahubali but the project never took off. “I was doing it (Baahubali). Directors kept getting changing. And I was still there training (in sword fight). I kept asking if the director has been finalised. I don’t know why they shut down the project, I hope it restarts again,” she says.

In reality, Wamiqa was a part of Baahubali and the directors did keep changing. Confused? The actor was part of the Netflix project Baahubali: Before the Beginning, which was based on the novels The Rise of Sivagami, Chaturanga and Queen of Mahishmathi. The series was supposed to serve as a prequel to Baahubali, with a focus on Ramya Krishnan’s character Sivagami.

Fans left confused

Fans of the film were confused by her statement. “Directors kept changing,” wrote one person with laughter emojis, while another alleged, “director’s keep changing it seems, it was SSR & his Father Dream Project … don’t tell ever stories to get fame (sic).” The clip was deleted later on but had caused enough confusion in the meantime. Mrunal Thakur was initially roped in for the role which eventually went to Wamiqa. Deva Katta and Praveen Sattaru were supposed to helm the project in 2018.
