Meanwhile, SS Rajamouli, Baahubali’s director said:
The world of Baahubali is extensive and immersive with strong characters and larger than life kingdoms. The films Baahubali -The Beginning and The Conclusion, are from one story set in this world and more dramatic stories were broadly conceived while building the Universe. The Baahubali Series, a prequel to the films, is one such story.

The series will also focus on the power and politics involved in the rise of Mahismati from being a city-state to the empire we know about. The series will also borrow from the narrative style of the movies, including its high production values and incredible visual effects.
