The movie has got rave reviews and is getting plaudits from all quarters. The level of frenzy around Baahubali is such that even the smallest of details related to the movie have a become a news of sorts.

And if you have seen the movie, how can you forget Bhallaladeva’s rotating blade chariot.

The chariot had helicopter like revolving blades and was placed in front of the vehicle to chop any attacker into pieces within a fraction of seconds.

As per Baahubali’s production designer Sabu Cyril, the chariot was powered by a Royal Enfield engine.

“Bhallaladeva’s chariot was built around a Royal Enfield engine so that it would get the power and speed it required. We had done the same in the first part as well,” Cyril was quoted as saying by Manorama Online.

“The chariot also had proper car steering and a driver. We had great fun designing and making it,” said the renowned designer.

Royal Enfield is a cult in itself – whose bikes are known for extraordinary power and performance in the harshest of conditions and this revelation will certainly make every Royal Enfield owner feel proud about their bikes.
