Mumbai, May 2 - Maverick filmmaker SS Rajamouli is coming up with the animated series Baahubali: Crown of Blood, based on the hugely successful Baahubali film franchise. The series has been set to stream on Disney+Hotstar.

Created by Rajamouli and Sharad Devarajan, produced by Rajamouli, Devarajan and Shobu Yarlagadda and directed and produced by Jeevan J. Kang and Navin John, Baahubali: Crown of Blood will start streaming on May 17 on Disney Plus Hotstar.



Set before the events of the two films, the animated series will focus on Baahubali and Bhallaladeva who join hands to protect the kingdom of Mahishmati and the throne against its greatest threat, the mysterious warlord known only as Raktadeva.

Rajamouli said (via Variety), "The world of Baahubali is vast, and the film franchise was the perfect introduction to the same. However, there’s so much more to explore, and that’s where ‘Baahubali: Crown of Blood’ comes into the picture. This story will reveal for the first time many unknown twists in the lives of Baahubali and Bhallaladeva and a dark secret long forgotten as the two brothers must save Mahishmati".

"We are extremely happy to introduce this new chapter to Baahu’s fans and to bring this story in an animated format, which brings a new, exciting look to the world of Baahubali. Arka Mediaworks and I are delighted to collaborate with Sharad Devarajan, Disney+Hotstar and Graphic India as we reshape Indian animation for a broader audience beyond kids".



The Baahubali films, directed by SS Rajamouli, starred Prabhas as Baahubali along with Rana Daggubati as Bhallaladeva, Anushka Shetty, Ramya Krishnan, Tamannah Bhatia, Nasser, and Sathyaraj in prominent roles. It is one of the highest-grossing Indian film franchises with over 2400 crores at the worldwide box office.
