[4][5] Bhallaladeva shared a long rivalry with his adoptive brother Amarendra Baahubali, whom he was heavily jealous of him.

Since in his mind, being powerful and overruling his subjects was his only priority while Baahubali sought equality and harmony among all of the kingdom's citizenship.

Left out of the people and his mother's attention, he framed Baahubali for his assassination after he becomes king maker, and later Kattappa kill him.

Bhallaladeva manipulated his mother into hating Baahubali, who renounced the throne to stay married to Devasena.

After he tricks his mother into ordering Baahubali's execution, he rules with an iron fist and oppresses his subjects as well as the entire region for 25 years.

He was always ready to kill to ascend the throne of Mahishmati and lacked compassion, a trait which Amarendra Baahubali had in abundance.

[8] SS Rajamouli revealed that Bhallaladeva's son Bhadrudu was adopted, while Rana Daggubati jokingly said that he is a surrogate child.

He ate every two and half hours as a part of his diet and avoided oil, while eating food rich in carbohydrates and proteins.

[19] Rana Daggubati, the actor who played Bhallaladeva, was paid a high amount for his role parallel to that of Baahubali, which was played by Prabhas, but he charged Rs 15 crore, less than the Rs 25 crore paid to Prabhas for the franchise.
