There are many events and stories in the world of Baahubali and Mahishmati that are unheard, unseen and unwitnessed. Disney + Hotstar and Graphic India recently launched animated series of one of India’s fan favorite film franchise, Hotstar Specials’ ‘Baahubali: Crown of Blood’, a story where Baahubali and Bhallaladeva will join hands to protect the great kingdom of Mahishmati and the throne against its greatest threat, the mysterious warlord, Raktadeva
A Graphic India and Arka Mediaworks production, Baahubali: Crown of Blood is produced by visionary S.S. Rajamouli, Sharad Devarajan &Shobu Yarlagadda, directed and produced by Jeevan J. Kang & Navin John.
Recently, the voice behind Baahubali: Crown of Blood, Sharad Kelkar got candid about his first meeting with Prabhas, The OG Baahubali. It really takes a lot of training and hardwork in order to dub and lend your voice to such a legendary character and dub it so convincingly that the people feel like it’s just the actor speaking the dialogues himself.
Talking about the same Sharad Kelkar said, “I don’t know much about him (Prabhas) because I hardly met him once or twice. Neither have we chatted on the phone. He is a very shy guy. He doesn’t come out often. I have dubbed for him but with his mannerisms, I know what his working style is. I met him for the first time when he was shooting for Koffee with Karan. We met and both of us looked at each other and greeted. All he said was, ‘Good, fantastic job.’ That’s the conversation we had”
Adding to it he said ,“Baahubali is not just a character; he embodies strength, valour, and righteousness. I aimed to infuse these qualities into my rendition while maintaining the integrity of the character.”
Baahubali: Crown of Blood is streaming now only on Disney+ Hotstar.
