SS Rajamouli Gives Major Update on Baahubali, Says ‘Will Expand Franchise In Many Ways and Medium’

SS Rajamouli is one of the ace directors in the south industry. Rajmouli has given various hits over the years and some of the famous movies helmed by the director have been RRR, Baahubali and others. Now, in a recent update, SS Rajamoili has confirmed that he is going to expand his Baahubali franchise in several “ways and mediums.“ Back in Hyderabad, SS Rajamouli attended an event called the ‘Baahubali: Crown of Blood’ where the director confirmed the news. 

Rajamouli also mentioned that they are looking beyond films to expand the Prabhas star and added that he is working on it with the film’s producer Shobu Yarlagadda. When a brand is created in the West, it goes multi-media. We’ve tried making games, a VR film, and a series for ‘Baahubali’ so far. But, nothing worked out as expected,” Rajamouli said as quoted by India Today and then added.

“It took us time to get here and to find the right people. It was also difficult to break away and hand over the reins to creator Sharad [Devarajan]. But, they did a good job with it, and it’s something that needed to happen.”

“Baahubali is going to go forward not just with animated series. It is going to expand in many other ways and mediums. This is not the platform to talk about it,” he shared.
