No, it's NOT Prabhas aka Amarendra Baahubali...

While SS Rajamouli's Baahubali 2 is busy creating new benchmarks and setting new records with every passing day, even Twinkle Khanna couldn't help but be charmed by the world created by the director.
Looks like the Baahubali fever has taken Twinkle Khanna in its clutches too as the actress cannot stop obsessing over one of it's characters. While one may think that it may be either of Prabhas's characters (Amarendra or Mahendra Baahubali) or that of Rana Daggubati (who played Bhallaladeva), turns out the actress-turned writer is raving about somebody completely different, and we're not complaining.
The actress can't get enough of Sathyaraj's character of Kattappa, the loyal army chief of the Maahishmati kingdom.
Some time back, Twinkle or Mrs Funnybones, as she is fondly known as, tweeted writing, "Saw Baahubali @ I’ve been calling my daughter Kattappa much to her dad’s annoyance-Perhaps he would prefer her being called Rowdy instead J.”
Saw Baahubali & I've been calling my daughter Kattappa much to her dad's annoyance-Perhaps he would prefer her being called Rowdy instead:)

In another tweet she explained and admitted being obsessed with the character writing, "All right perhaps I am a bit obsessed- but try it- say Kattappa 3 times and you won’t be able to stop- it’s like eating wafers – addictive!”

Now, it so happened that Sathyaraj's son quoted Twinkle's tweet and wrote, "Really Honoured" and Twinkle replied to him thinking he is the one who played Kattappa. She replied, "Sir you were marvellous -we have seen part 1 and 2 in succession today - congratulations on the resounding success"

To this, Sathyaraj's son wrote, clearing the air about mistaken identity, "Mam I'm Kattappa's son!Dad is really happy to see your tweet!He's a big fan of Rajesh Khanna Ji!Our regards to your family" and Twinkle on realising the goof up wrote, "Oops :) thank you and all the best!"
