SS Rajamouli’s seminal cinematic work Baahubali is one of the most talked about films in the last few years. After its immense success, it was announced a few years back that the film would also get its own prequel series. However, a recent report suggests that the production of the prequel has been put on hold. The web series was initially to be produced by SS Rajamouli but later the project was handed over to Siddharth Tiwari’s Swastik Productions.
According to The Times of India, the production of Baahubali-Before the Beginning by Netflix has been put on hold for now. The American streaming platform had announced the series in 2018. The report mentions that Tiwari’s production house, known for making periodical dramas and historicals, onboarded director Kunal Deshmukh, but he has now pulled out of the project. Speaking to ETimes, a source close to the web series revealed, “The project which has now been put on hold, has Bombay Fables taking over as the creative producer.”
After Kunal’s exit from the show, Anurag Singh, who has directed films like Kesari, was in talks with the production house, however, Times of India reports that things did not go well with the OTT platform .
Considering the lack of clarity on the future of the project, actress Mrunal Thakur, who was supposed to star in the series, also opted for it, reports Pinkvilla. The Pinkvilla report also mentioned that actress Vamika Gabbi was also supposed to play the role of Sivagami Devi, however, there is no confirmation on whether she is still a part of the cast or not. Tollywood actress Nayanthara was also supposed to star in the Netflix series. Pinkvilla reports that Nayanthara remains a part of the Netflix series.
Telugu star Prabhas played the role of the same name in two Bahubali movies. Directed by SS Rajamouli, the film also stars Anushka Shetty, Sathyaraj, Rana Daggubati and Ramya Krishnan in pivotal roles.
