Mrunal Thakur and Rahul Bose will appear in the lead roles in Baahubali: Before the Beginning - the spin-off series based on SS Rajamouli’s film, which will premiere on Netflix, a leading website reports. Mrunal will play Sivagami while Rahul has been cast as Skandadasa. Atul Kulkarni, Vaquar Shaikh, Jameel Khan, Siddharth Arora and Anup Soni will co-star in the show.

Mrunal is excited enough to play the role as she said, “I knew I wanted to play Sivagami because she’s a strong girl. I don’t know if I’ll ever be a hero in real life, but this gave me the opportunity to play one on screen. I have played a victim in the past, but this character is something else. She is so confident, fierce and I’m so fortunate.”

Baahubali is a successful series - Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali: The Conclusion. Both films were blockbusters at the box office and received positive reviews all throughout. Prasad Devineni, who is producing the spin-off, said that Baahubali: Before the Beginning is a prequel to both films.
