Further it is reported that this part will be more exciting and different from others. The man behind the script and direction of Baahubali: Before The Beginning Deva Katta and Praveen Sattaru revealed an update about the web series. “We envisioned making a Baahubali series like the Game of Thrones Series. It has taken 10 years of scripts, 10-15 years of the screenplay. There were versions that have been shelved. Baahubali requires similar energy and resources.”
The director of the film said, “If we watch Game Of Thrones, the first episode will have shots of the last season which will be streamed years later. Baahubali is also on similar lines. So, it is not an easy project. Initially, Netflix is in a hurry to make it. Hence we had to shelve a version. But they are now in line with our vision and are giving time ten times what we initially sought.”
He also added that many directors would work for the project. “The script work is not completely done. Netflix’s internal team is taking care of the project with international technicians. I and Praveen will pitch in whenever we have time,” said Deva Katta.
Now speaking of the cast, the film features Wamiqa Gabbi, Rahul Bose, Atul Kulkarni, Sahib Verma, Sunil Palwal in pivotal roles.
Meanwhile, Wamiqa Gabbi has many projects on her way. These are Netflix’s ‘Kufiya’, Punjabi film ‘Galwakdi’. Her fans are excited to see her performance in upcoming films as the actress has marked her name after appearing in Grahan.
