'Baahubali: Crown of Blood' Trailer
The trailer begins by recapping the betrayal of Amarendra Baahubali by Bhallaldeva while he was serving the people of Mahishmati. However, the focus of "Baahubali: Crown of Blood" shifts to events that occurred long before Bhallaldeva's treachery. A new and mysterious enemy named Raktadeva launches an invasion on Mahishmati, causing chaos with his army.
Queen Sivagami informs Amarendra that Raktadeva's goal isn't to rule Mahishmati but to erase its very existence from history. To their shock, they discover that Kattappa is the commander of the enemy forces. Amidst the turmoil, Bhallaldeva initially insists on battling alone, but Amarendra persuades him to join forces against Raktadeva.
The trailer concludes with a gripping depiction of the intense war between Queen Sivagami's army and that of Raktadeva.
