Rajamouli shares a very close bond with Prabhas. They are like family. Rajamouli has made it a ritual of sorts to watch all of Prabhas' movies on the first day, first show along with his wife. Similarly, he watched Kalki 2898 AD with his family in Hyderabad.

Rajamouli has so far done three movies with Prabhas. The 2005 action drama Chatrapathi played a very instrumental role in solidifying Prabhas' superstar status in Telugu cinema. Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion made Prabhas a worldwide sensation, besides raising the profile of Indian cinema globally.
