SS Rajamouli has expanded the 'Baahubali' universe by launching the animated version in the popular epic fantasy today. Titled 'Baahubali: The Lost Legends', the series is set against the Kalakeya invasion depicted in the first movie. The series will take the viewer back in time as a prequel to the movie narrative with a focus on the young lives of Baahubali and Bhallaladeva.

Created by Rajamouli in association with Graphic India and Arka Mediaworks, the series' first chapter will be available on Amazon Prime Video with fast follows of remaining episodes in a few weeks. "What we managed to showcase in the films was just the tip of the iceberg. From the minute I started working on this story, I knew the world of Bahubali can't be encompassed into a film or two, simply because there's so much more to tell and animation is another way to do that."

The series will be available on Amazon Prime. The director, who is set to release the second part of the Bahubali franchise this month-end, had also launched a novel, The Rise of Sivagami, the first book in the Baahubali trilogy. It has been written by Anand Neelakantan.
