Prior to its release, Rajamouli shared a special message to everyone regarding this animation series. He said, “Hello, Namaskaram. For many fans who are asking when we are continuing the story of Baahubali, I am so happy to bring you Baahubali: Crown Of Blood that is going to come on Disney+ Hotstar and we are associated with Graphic India that also brought you The Legend Of Hanuman. 9 episodes coming to you and we all loved it, hope you like it. Thank you very much.”

During the press meet, he made some interesting comments regarding the various forms of entertainment the audience are seeking. He said, “We all know Baahubali is the biggest hit of Indian cinema and it is the most watched film. We have 140 crore population in India. Let us think like 120 crore people watch films. The number of tickets sold for the film were just 10 crores. There are 110 crore people who did not watch the film in theatres. Most of them watched the film on television, OTT or other mediums. We live in the world of films and we think everything is cinema. We think everyone watches films but that is not true. In India, cinema plays a major role.”

He added, “The other people get that storytelling entertainment from books, novels, comics and other mediums. There is a section of the audience who only watch animated films. The idea of Baahubali – Crown of Blood is to touch all the audience. There is a debate as to why producers are not making quality animated films. Baahubali – Crown of Blood is for them.”

SS Rajamouli is working on the script and pre-production works of his upcoming movie with superstar Mahesh Babu. The globe-trotting adventure drama is expected to begin soon.
