Talking about his character, Rajesh said: “I think Raktadeva is going to bring in the new element of intrigue and conflict to the world of Baahubali, which is already a huge hit amongst viewers, as people don’t know anything about him so that will be an addition.”
He added: “As the story unfolds the audience would want to know more about this character, his reasons for being the way he is. Baahubali being an iconic character, the story needed a formidable antagonist pitched against the might of Baahubali which Raktadeva is, and the audience will discover while watching the series.
The veteran actor gives “full marks” for making a character like Raktdeva.
“Full marks to the makers for creating a character like Raktadeva who in spite of being a negative force, is still as humane as any other character in the series.”
In the ‘Baahubali: Crown of Blood’ series, Baahubali and Bhallaladeva will join hands to protect the great kingdom of Mahishmati and the throne against its greatest threat, the mysterious warlord, Raktadeva.
‘Baahubali: Crown of Blood’ is streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.
