Renowned filmmaker SS Rajamouli has once again captured the imagination of audiences worldwide with the announcement of his latest project, “Baahubali: Crown of Blood.” Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the visionary director teased fans with a mesmerizing video unveiling the title of the upcoming animated series, accompanied by the iconic chants of Baahubali echoing in the background.
In his announcement on Tuesday, Rajamouli assured eager fans that a trailer for “Baahubali: Crown of Blood” will be unveiled in the near future, igniting anticipation among enthusiasts of the epic franchise. He expressed, “When the people of Mahishmati chant his name, no force in the universe can stop him from returning. Baahubali: Crown of Blood, an animated series trailer, arrives soon!”
While details regarding the cast, crew, and storyline remain shrouded in mystery, aficionados of the Baahubali saga can expect nothing short of an enthralling narrative woven into the fabric of Rajamouli’s grand vision.
The Baahubali franchise, which commenced with the release of “Baahubali: The Beginning” in 2015 followed by its sequel “Baahubali: The Conclusion” in 2017, has garnered immense acclaim for its captivating storytelling and breathtaking visuals. The films featured a stellar cast including Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah Bhatia, Sathyaraj, and Ramya Krishnan in pivotal roles, solidifying its status as a cinematic masterpiece.
In 2017, fans were treated to the animated series “Baahubali: The Lost Legends” on Amazon Prime Video, expanding the universe of Mahishmati and its legendary heroes.

The Baahubali saga has transcended the silver screen, extending its reach to literature and other media formats. Alongside the animated series, fans have delved into the prequel novel “The Rise of Sivagami,” as well as engaging with graphic novels such as “Chaturanga: Queen of Mahishmathi” and “Baahubali: Battle of the Bold.” In 2018, the franchise ventured into the realm of Japanese manga with Akira Fukaya’s adaptation, captivating audiences across cultures.
Furthermore, the Baahubali universe expanded into the gaming realm with the release of “Baahubali: The Game” in 2017, offering fans an immersive experience in the world of Mahishmati.
As anticipation mounts for “Baahubali: Crown of Blood,” fans eagerly await further updates from SS Rajamouli, eager to embark on another epic journey into the heart of one of Indian cinema’s most celebrated franchises.
