The producer of the franchise, Shobu Yarlagadda, has confirmed the news. “Baahubali doesn’t belong to Andhra Pradesh anymore. It’s gone out to the world. We’ve decided to make the television series in Hindi, and then telecast it in different Indian languages. Why Hindi? Because it’s the national language and has maximum reach,” he said.

Details regarding the cast and crew are yet to be announced.
Meanwhile, the movie is expected to cross the Rs 1000 crore mark by the end of its second weekend at the box-office.
