I'll search for information about how the main characters in Bāhubali: The Beginning know each other.
Based on the search results and my knowledge of the film, here's how the main characters know each other:
The key relationship in the film is between Shivudu (the protagonist played by Prabhas) and Avanthika (the warrior princess).
Shivudu meets the beautiful warrior princess Avanthika and learns that her queen has been held captive for the last 25 years.
They meet when Shivudu ventures away from his village, and
becomes caught up in the crossfire battle of a mysterious rebel tribe upon befriending one of its warriors
While Avanthika initially doubts Shiva's intentions, later she falls in love with him after she finds out that he has climbed the waterfall for her.
After this,
Shiva pledges to help her in her mission and sneaks into Mahishmati to rescue Devasena
(the imprisoned queen).
As for Devasena, the imprisoned queen whom they rescue,
she is the real mother of Shiva and she has been imprisoned by the king for the past 25 years
, so their connection is a family one that Shivudu discovers during the film's events rather than knowing each other beforehand.
The summary completely omits the wooden mask, which is the primary plot device that motivates Shivudu to climb the waterfall and leads him directly to Avanthika.
The summary characterizes the meeting as 'befriending' in a 'crossfire battle,' whereas the film depicts it as a romantic pursuit/stalking where Shivudu paints Avanthika's arm/face while she sleeps, leading to a confrontation.
