Blending cinematic scale with Pocket FM’s signature narrative style, the Baahubali audio series will carry forward the emotion, power, and mythology of the original while charting a completely new narrative arc filled with untold stories, and unseen conflicts. With high-quality voice performances, detailed sound design, and atmospheric music, it aims to take the listeners directly into the heart of Maahishmathi.
“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.

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 of Arka Mediaworks.
This collaboration marks a milestone in Pocket FM’s strategic expansion, reinforcing its vision to lead India’s audio entertainment revolution by adapting iconic IPs into powerful, large-scale audio
