‘Baahubali 2’ has broken all records and is still running strong. Those who have seen ‘Baahubali’ are still in awe of the large-scale props and grand sequences. One thing that struck all of us was Rana Daggubati i.e. Bhallala Deva’s sinister mass-slaughter machine – the chariot that cuts anybody who comes in the way.

Blood thirsty Bhallala Deva goes on a killing spree with his mean machine and we couldn’t help but think it was a great invention nevertheless. Covering a huge diameter, it’s sharp revolving blades were a game changer in the war. We wondered what technology they could have used.

Turns out the chariot was powered by the engine of a Royal Enfield.

Known production designer Sabu Cyril, who has worked for the ‘Baahubali’ movies, revealed in an interview with Manorama Online, and said, "Bhallala Deva's chariot was built with a Royal Enfield engine as the centre-piece as that would give the chariot the required power and speed. We used this method in the first Baahubali film as well."

"The chariot had a typical car steering plus a driver. We had a lot of fun designing and conceptualizing it,” he added.

There are bikes and then there are bikes. Royal Enfield enthusiasts swear by their most cherished possessions. It’s not a bike, it’s family. Guess Bhallala Deva loves bikes too.
