The story is completely fictional written by Vijayendra Prasad and will remain so. Days later, Sobhu Yarlagadda defended the story of the film saying 'The film has nothing to do with Gomatheswara or the Jain religion.

Sodhe Matha sent legal notices to the film's producers in early January 2014 about the film's title Baahubali which is the name of a revered Arihant in Jainism, Bahubali, as they were afraid that the film would portray his story in a violent manner. The story of Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali: The Conclusion is set in Mahishmati kingdom. Director S.S.Rajamouli said that he was inspired from epic Mahabharata in making Baahubali. Senthil Kumar was selected to handle the film's cinematography. For a particular action sequence, Peter Hein had to handle around 2000 stuntmen and elephants. The film's action sequences were choreographed by Peter Hein who stated that efforts were being made to keep the visuals as a period film. He said that his dialogues would be along the lines of yesteryear epic historical movies like Manohara (1954) and Nadodi Mannan (1958) and that they would be in chaste Tamil. We tried but we were losing some of the emotional quotient hence the second release after a gap of 10 months.' Tamil lyricist Madhan Karky was selected to write the dialogues for the Tamil version. On why the film was split into two parts, Rajamouli said, 'The story, about two warring brothers for a kingdom, is so big that one film is not enough. It was later decided to make it a two part film which would release by 2015. Prabhas, Rana and Anushka practiced sword fighting, while Prabhas and Rana learned horse riding. Satheesh stated that much effort was taken to keep the recording free of anachronistic sounds of modern machinery.

In January 2013, he announced that the working title was Baahubali, though it would later be finalised. Rajamouli announced that his next film would star Telugu actor Prabhas.
