Hrithik Roshan was never approached for Baahubali:

The producer of Baahubali has clarified that Hrithik Roshan was never approached for the lead role of Amarendra Baahubali. According to producer Shobu Yarlagadda, the character was always written with Prabhas in mind, and no auditions or offers were made to other actors for this part.

“From Day 1, THE ROLE of #Baahubali WAS MEANT FOR #Prabhas.

We never approached stars like #HrithikRoshan or anyone else.”

Director S. S. Rajamouli has also confirmed the same position. He said that from the start, when the Story was being conceived, it was Prabhas for whom the role was designed. He described how he and Prabhas had worked together earlier, had much mutual understanding, and how Prabhas kept his schedule free for many years for Baahubali.

Despite various rumours in media and social platforms suggesting that Hrithik or other Bollywood stars might have been considered, the filmmakers have repeatedly denied those claims. The producer says they never reached out to Hrithik or told him about Baahubali.

So, the credible sources—statements from both Shobu Yarlagadda and S. S. Rajamouli—firmly assert that Prabhas was the only choice for the role of Baahubali, and that rumours about Hrithik being approached are not based on solid evidence.
