Bahubaali Director To Make A TV Series Based On The Book 'The Rise of Sivagami’

Director SS Rajamouli, who is gearing for the release of his upcoming movie, ‘Bahubaali: The Conclusion,’is planning to make a mini TV series based on the prequel book trilogy 'The Rise of Sivagami,’ which is written by Anand Neelakantan. Talking about the series, the Rajanna director said, "We are planning to make a mini TV series based on the three books, but not a daily soap that we usually see on TV. What we are planning to make is seasonal series with 13 episodes.

The first book in the trilogy is the story about Sivagami, mother of Baahubali, who is growing to be a queen of Mahishmathi. Moreover, a famous character known as Kattappa is also featured in the book. About the book, the author said, “The book is also about Kattappa. I have tried to understand his emotions that why he became the person he is, what are his inner conflicts and how he deals with them.”

Besides, the author has penned other mythological books including 'Asura: Tale of The Vanquished’. He has created around 40 new characters for the book series. Though the National Award Film director is interested in Neelakantan work but doesn’t plan to turn Sivagami’s story into a film.
