Baahubali: The Lost Legends, an animated spinoff of filmmaker SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali film franchise, will soon make its debut on the small screen to enthrall viewers with the story of Baahubali, the king of fictional kingdom Mahishmati. After releasing the series on Amazon Prime Video, Rajamouli, Graphic India and Arka Mediaworks have joined hands with Colors channel to expand the world of Baahubali.
“Baahubali has proved to be a landmark film in the history of Indian cinema. Its success is nothing short of a case study for the Indian filmmakers,” Raj Nayak, COO, Viacom18, said in a statement.
“Going by the ripples that this masterpiece has generated nationwide, we thought this was the right time to bring to our television audiences the folklores of Baahubali, which have been captured stunningly in this animated series,” he added. Baahubali: The Lost Legends has been created by Rajamouli, Sharad Devarajan and Arka Mediaworks.
Rajamouli said: “The reach of television as a medium in India is extraordinary, and we’re thrilled to partner with Raj Nayak and Colors to bring the untold stories of the Mahishmati kingdom to the television audiences.
Mass appeal
“Our creation of the series with Graphic India and Sharad Devarajan was formed on the idea that we could launch an animated series that would go beyond just kids. With the channel’s distribution platform, we will be able to bring Baahubali: The Lost Legends to the millions of people in India from ages eight to 80.” Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, the second installment in the franchise, is currently having a golden run in theatres. — IANS
