Pocket FM has announced a collaboration with Arka Mediaworks, the studio behind S.S. Rajamouli’s landmark Baahubali films, to expand the franchise with a large-scale original audio series. Marking the 10-year anniversary of the Baahubali universe, the new series will feature an entirely fresh storyline set in the kingdom of Maahishmathi and will unfold across more than 250 episodes in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

Created to appeal both to long-time Baahubali fans and new-age audio listeners, the series blends cinematic world-building with Pocket FM’s immersive audio storytelling format. Listeners can expect high-quality voice performances, rich sound design, evocative background music, and new narratives that explore unseen conflicts and untold layers of the Baahubali world.

Rohan Nayak, Co-founder and CEO, Pocket FM, said: “Baahubali is a cultural phenomenon that continues to inspire audiences. Bringing that legacy into audio storytelling is both an honour and an exciting creative challenge. At Pocket FM, we believe imagination is the most powerful screen. With Arka Mediaworks, we’re not just retelling Baahubali-we’re expanding the universe with a new storyline crafted specifically for this mega audio series. This is an experience where you don’t just hear Maahishmathi, you feel it.”

Shobu Yarlagadda, Co-founder, Arka Mediaworks, added: “Expanding the Baahubali world has always been part of our vision. This audio series continues that journey with the same focus on rooted, engaging storytelling. It’s exciting to watch the universe grow into new formats, and we hope listeners enjoy this new chapter.”

The partnership reflects Pocket FM’s broader strategy to lead India’s audio entertainment evolution by adapting iconic IPs into premium audio experiences. After the success of Shaktimaan Returns, the Baahubali audio series further strengthens its ambition to redefine how India’s biggest fantasy worlds are brought to life through sound.
