However, back during the days of shooting for the SS Rajamouli film, Anushka revealed her weight loss plans before the film's shoot. The actress had to put on around 20 kgs of weight during that period for her Tamil-Telugu film Inji Iddupazhagi/Size Zero.
Back then, in an interview, Anushka revealed, “I'm still left to lose about 7-8 kgs before I join the sets of Baahubali 2. People also kept asking why I ended up playing such a small role in the film’s first part. Well, I have got to tell them to wait till you watch the second part. Rajamouli sir has reserved the best part for me and I'm honored to be part of this franchise.”

Anushka Shetty had to put on extra weight for her film Inji Iddupazhagi as the film’s theme revolved around the problems of being overweight and self-image. Moreover, when asked in the same interview why they didn’t opt for a prosthetic suit, the Billa actress said that she wanted to look as authentic as possible.
Since the makers wanted to capture the movie naturally, the actress mentioned she decided to go against the use of technology and make-up. Shetty also revealed how great the film Size Zero was for her and hoped it would be a factor in changing the lives of people who suffer from weight problems.
