Kumkuma Bagya Telugu Daily Serial – E831 – 24th Aug

India’s top director SS Rajamouli, Graphic India and the Disney + Hotstar team have come together to make an animation series titled ‘Baahubali – Crown Of Blood’. The trailer got a good response and people are curious to watch the full series which is arriving on Disney + Hotstar from 17th May. When asked about the reason behind taking the animation route to extend the world of ‘Baahubali’ instead of making another film, he revealed some interesting facts.

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.”

Rajamouli made it clear that they wanted to touch all sets of people in the spectrum through the world of ‘Baahubali’. He also said that he wants to make an animation film which has been his long-time dream. He stated that he is currently learning the necessary skills to make it happen one day.
