Director Blames Time Constraints as Prime Cause
Deva Katta has spoken regarding why the Baahubali web series was shelved. He stated that the project took too long. "We began it with Rajamouli's idea and wanted to make it a long-term one. Scriptwriting alone took a long time. Without having a full script, shooting became difficult. In the end, we realized the direction wasn't going in the right direction. So, we decided to drop it," he said.
Series Intended to Be a Prequel to Baahubali Movies
Web series was taken from Anand Neelakantan's novels The Rise of Sivagami and Queen of Mahishmati. It was intended to be a prequel to Baahubali movies. Netflix had earlier announced the production under the name Baahubali: Before the Beginning. Vamika Gabbi, Rahul Bose, and Atul Kulkarni were recruited for lead roles.
