Mumbai: Pocket FM, an audio series platform, has announced its collaboration with Arka Mediaworks, the creative studio behind S.S. Rajamouli’s iconic Baahubali films, to expand the Baahubali universe with an all-new original audio series. The ambitious project, marking the 10th anniversary of the Baahubali franchise, will feature a fresh storyline set within the epic world of Maahishmathi, spanning over 250 episodes in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
Designed to appeal to loyal fans and a new generation of listeners, the series blends cinematic scale with Pocket FM’s immersive audio storytelling, bringing untold stories, unseen conflicts, and the grandeur of Maahishmathi to life with high-quality voice performances, atmospheric sound design, and evocative music.
“Baahubali is a cultural milestone that inspired an entire generation, and continues to do so even today. To bring that legacy into the world of audio storytelling is both an honour and a creative challenge we’ve embraced with heart,” said Rohan Nayak, Cofounder and CEO, Pocket FM. “At Pocket FM, we’ve always believed that imagination is the most powerful screen. With Arka Mediaworks, what makes this collaboration special is that we’re expanding the Baahubali universe with a new storyline crafted for this mega audio series where it is creating an experience where you don’t just hear Maahishmathi, you feel it. This partnership marks a defining moment for how India will experience storytelling in the years to come.”
“Growing the Baahubali universe has always been a deliberate part of our journey, and this collaboration with Pocket FM is another step in that direction. The audio series comes from the same place as the films, a focus on rooted and engaging storytelling. It’s nice to see the world expand into new formats, and I hope listeners enjoy this new chapter,” said Shobu Yarlagadda, Co-founder, Arka Mediaworks.
The partnership reinforces Pocket FM’s strategic vision to lead India’s audio entertainment revolution by adapting iconic IPs into large-scale audio experiences. Following the success of Shaktimaan Returns, the Baahubali audio series underscores Pocket FM’s ambition to redefine how India’s greatest fantasy universes are imagined, adapted, and experienced.
