Disney+ Hotstar recently unveiled their upcoming animated series, “Baahubali: Crown of Blood,” with the creative team in attendance.
This animated series transports viewers back in time, following an epic journey of empire clashes as Baahubali and Bhallaladeva unite to defend the kingdom of Mahishmati and its throne from a formidable threat.
Director S.S. Rajamouli explained the extensive thought process behind “Crown of Blood,” emphasizing the depth of character development and storytelling.
He highlighted the challenge of expanding the Baahubali universe beyond the films, a concept more common in the West.
Rajamouli described the difficult decision to entrust the project to others, emphasizing the importance of conveying the essence and soul of Baahubali to the new team. He expressed satisfaction with their work, particularly in crafting compelling character arcs and the storyline for “Crown of Blood.”
Excitement surrounds the series, especially with the prospect of engaging cliffhangers akin to the memorable “Why Kattappa Killed Baahubali” mystery.
Produced by Graphic India and Arka Mediaworks Production Pvt Ltd, with visionary input from Rajamouli, Sharad Devarajan, and Shobu Yarlagadda, “Baahubali: Crown of Blood” is directed and produced by Jeevan J. Kang and Navin John. The series is set to premiere on Disney+ Hotstar starting May 17, 2024.
