It is currently unknown in what capacity Rajamouli would be associated with Baahubali: Crown of Blood. Baahubali: The Beginning, the first part released in 2015, follows Sivudu, an adventurous young man who helps his love Avantika rescue Devasena, the former queen of Mahishmati who is now a prisoner under the tyrannical rule of King Bhallaladeva, and ends at a cliffhanger: 'Why Kattappa killed Baahubali?' The story concludes in Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017).

Released in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Hindi, the two films in total amassed over Rs 1,000 crore worldwide. The "Baahubali" movies, also starring Ramya Krishnan, Sathyaraj, and Nassar, also spawned the Prime Video animated series Baahubali: The Lost Legends (2017).
