Spilling the beans, the Baahubali series' production designer Sabu Cyril revealed in a recent interview that Bhallaladeva's chariot was built around a Royal Enfield engine so that it could get the power and speed required.

The second instalment in the Baahubali movie franchise not only uses spectacular visual effects to create a fantasy world with giant elephants, but some ingenious battle scenes too. As surprising as that may sound, the battlefield chariot used by antagonist Bhallaladeva (Rana Daggubati's character) was powered by a Royal Enfield engine. Spilling the beans, the Baahubali series' production designer Sabu Cyril revealed in a recent interview that Bhallaladeva's chariot was built around a Royal Enfield engine so that it could get the power and speed required.
The chariot was part of both the movies and its unique design used a set of revolving blades at the front to act as a battlefield killing machine. Designed completely by Cyril and his team, the art director
The simpler engineering on RE engines make it easier to fix
It is likely that either the 350 or 500 cc singe-cylinder motor was used in the making of the chariot, given its easy availability. On the RE Classic 350, the motor produces 20 bhp of power and 28 Nm of torque, while the RE Classic 500 is propelled by 27.2 bhp of power and 41.3 Nm of torque from its 500 cc motor. Moreover, the simple engineering on the Royal Enfield engines makes it an easy fix in case of breakdowns.
"Baahubali 2: The Conclusion" has set new records at the box office, becoming the first Indian movie to ever cross Rs 1,000 crore in collections. Out of this, the movie has managed to generate Rs. 800 crore in the domestic market alone.
