The animated series takes audiences back to the world of Mahishmati. It will be streamed on Disney+ Hotstar from 17 May.
Rana Daggubati, who played the role of Bhallaladeva in the magnum opus Baahubali (2015 and 2017), sent his best wishes to team Baahubali: Crown of Blood through a video message.
Rana could not attend Baahubali: Crown of Blood‘s press meet held in Hyderabad on Tuesday, 7 May.
In the video message, Rana said, “Though I was not there in person, I’m always present in spirit as mighty Bhallaladeva.”
He thanked the audience for loving and supporting the franchise saying, “Baahubali over these years has created a very special place in your hearts, today, it is beyond a film, it is a legacy.”
Rana congratulated Rajamouli, Arka Media, Disney+ Hotstar, and Graphic India for continuing the franchise and taking it “back” (while referring to the storyline of the animated series, which delves into the background of Mahishmati).
Rana Daggubati ended the message by urging the viewers to watch the animated series on Disney+ Hotstar.
