Baahubali’s world cannot be condensed into two films, which is why SS Rajamouli chose to make it a franchise, Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017).
Speaking at the press meet, Rajamouli shared, “As filmmakers, we need to explore all mediums. There is also a good chunk of the world population that likes books, novels, games, and anime.”
Quoting the example of B&B: Bujji & Bhairava, a producer said, “This show is like a precursor to the movie. It prepares audiences to set their expectations right.”
