Fans all over the country were elated when it was announced that there's going to be a prequel series about the events of Bahubali franchise. 'Bahubali: The Beginning' was an blockbuster hit and its success is responsible for the increasing number of pan Indian films which are under production these days. So the the series titled 'Bahubali: Before The Beginning' had finished shooting on the budget of 100 crore.

Led by Mrunal Thakur and produced by SS Rajamauli, the 9 episode miniseries was going to showcase the rise of Shivagami but the Netflix weren't happy with the product and decided to scrap it all together. The makers are asked to reshoot the entire thing with a whooping 200 crore rupees budget. A source clsoe to the development revealed, "Netflix was not satisfied with the product they had in hand and hence decided to scrap it completely putting Rs 100 crore as bad debts. They reworked the script, star-cast and technical team and are now reshooting Bahubali: Before The Beginning, on a never seen before, unheard scale for their streaming.

The source further revealed, "They see the potential in Bahubali of being India’s answer to Game of Thrones, and hence, they have decided to take things a notch higher. The overall budget for the new part is Rs. 200 crores, and if we add the scrap value, the project now is worth Rs 300 crore.”
