The first looks of Allu Arjun and Prabhas in their respective films, "Rudhramadevi" and "Baahubali", have been released.

Allu Arjun rocks as Gona Ganna Reddy in the first-look motion poster of "Rudhramadevi." The actor plays Robin Hood kind of role in the historic epic drama, which has Anushka playing the title role. She will be appearing as a queen who ruled the Kakatiya kingdom during the 13th century, while Rana Daggubati will be seen in the role of Chalukya Veerabadhra.

"Rudhramadevi" director Guansekhar is confident that Allu Arjun's role will appeal to the masses. "Allu Arjun's role will go down as one of the most memorable performances in the history of Telugu cinema. His role is designed like that of Robinhood and will appeal to both the masses and the classes," Gunasekhar told 123telugu.

 

"Rudhramadevi" is gearing up for a Sankranti release. Produced by Gunasekhar, the film is touted to be one of the big-budget entertainers in Telugu cinema. Prakash Raj, Tanikella Bharani, Krishnam Raju, Catherine Tresa, Nithya Menen, Jaya Prakash Reddy, Hamsa Nandhini, Aditi Chenagappa, Suman, Ajay and Brahmanandam among others.

Prabhas Warrior Look in Baahubali

Prabhas looks stunning as a warrior in "Baahubali." The actor will be playing the title role, while Anushka Shetty and Rana Daggubati appear in pivotal roles.

The makers of "Baahubali" have already released several making videos of the film and they have got tremendous response from the fans. The team is yet to release the first-look teaser of the film. A few days ago, "Baahubali" director Rajamouli celebrated his birthday and fans expected a new teaser will be released. However, it did not happen much to their disappointment.

"We are overwhelmed by your support n enthusiasm for #Baahubali ! Thank u! We have planned lots more new n exciting stuff! BUT..... as much as we would all like to see a teaser or another making video, we won't be able to release one soon.. #Baahubali," tweeted Shobu Yarlagadda, producer of the film.

On 23 October, Prabhas will be celebrating his birthday. Last year, the makers of "Baahubali" had released a making video of Prabhas's role in the film. It will be interesting to see if the makers will release any teaser on the special day this year as a birthday treat for the fans.

"Baahubali," deemed as one of the costliest films in the history of Telugu cinema, is being made in two parts. The first part is likely to be released during summer 2015, while the second part is expected to hit the screens in 2016.
