PrabhasYoung Rebel Star Prabhas did not take any remuneration for his movie Baahubali. Producers have decided to give him 25 crores as remuneration at first. As the movie collected more than 600 crores he got 65 crores as remuneration and even for Baahubali 2 he will be taking a decent percentage in the profits.
