Rs 2 Cr was spent on Anushka's slim avatar

Rajamouli and his team reportedly spent a whopping Rs 2 Cr on slimming down Anushka’s frame in ‘Baahubali 2’. Sources close to the movie told us that Rajamouli sent all the footage of Anushka in ‘Baahubali 2’ to Shah Rukh Khan owned Red Chillies VFX Studio in Mumbai to scale down her frame. 

Using latest VFX software, the team made Anushka look beautiful with right figure. The same technique they used for Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Fan’. In ‘Fan’, SRK did dual roles and one character had to look very young. So, similar software used for Anushka in ‘Baahubali 2’. Part of some footage was also done at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad. 

Anushka put on weight heavily after she completed shooting for ‘Size Zero’. Though, she tried all methods to slim down but her efforts didn’t yield any positive results. After realising that she cannot lose further, Rajamouli went ahead and shot scenes on her with the same look but made her look slim and beautiful using latest visual effects. 

Anushka’s introduction as Deva Sena and early romantic scenes were shot in 2015 itself, much before she put on weight.
