Mrunal Thakur opts out of Baahubali prequel series due to lack of clarity from the team
Despite major part of the shoot being completed, the highly-anticipated show has been put on hold.
Back in 2018, Netflix had announced Baahubali's live-action prequel series called 'Baahubali: Before the Beginning'. Said to be based on Anand Neelakantan’s novel ‘The Rise of Sivagami,’ the two-season show had Mrunal Thakur, Anoop Soni, and Rahul Bose in the lead roles. The star cast of the show had already wrapped up a major part of the shoot. Despite major part of the shoot being completed, the highly-anticipated show has been put on hold for reasons well-known to the team. Now, we hear Mrunal Thakur opts out of the Baahubali prequel series due to lack of clarity from the team.
A source close to the actor revealed to Pinkvilla, "Mrunal is no longer a part of the series due to lack of clarity from the production house after shooting 70% of the film 2 years back...Mrunal has moved on from the project as she had other professional commitments." South Indian filmmakers Deva Katta and Praveen Sattaru have directed the series. Mrunal was on board to play the young Shivagami in the series. Well, the makers are expected to re-shoot with the new team. However, an official word regarding the same is awaited. The makers are reportedly planning to start rolling by April-May next year.
