Rajamouli’s involvement with “Baahubali: Crown of Blood” remains undisclosed at this point whether he will serve as the director or producer.
The narrative arc of the “Baahubali” saga commenced with “Baahubali: The Beginning” in 2015, tracing the journey of Sivudu, a spirited young man embarking on a quest to aid his beloved Avantika in rescuing Devasena, the erstwhile queen of Mahishmati, ensnared in the clutches of King Bhallaladeva’s tyranny. The first installment culminated with the enigmatic question: ‘Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali?’
This cliffhanger was resolved in the sequel, “Baahubali 2: The Conclusion” (2017), a cinematic spectacle that resonated across Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Hindi audiences, amassing over Rs 1,000 crore globally.
Featuring a stellar cast including Ramya Krishnan, Sathyaraj, and Nassar, the “Baahubali” series also inspired the creation of the Prime Video animated series “Baahubali: The Lost Legends” (2017).
