Talking about his character, Rajesh said: "I think Raktadev is going to bring a new element of intrigue and conflict to the world of Baahubali, which I think is already a huge hit with the audience because people Don't know anything about him." There will be an extra one.”

He further added, “As the story unfolds, the audience will want to know more about the character, his reasons for being the way he is. Baahubali being an iconic character, the story required a formidable antagonist against the might of Baahubali, which is Raktadev, and the audience will get to know that while watching the series.

The veteran actor gives "full marks" for creating a character like Raktadev.

"Full marks to the producers for creating a character like Raktadev, who despite being a negative force, is still as human as any other character in the series."

In the series 'Baahubali: Crown of Blood', Baahubali and Bhallaladeva will join hands to protect the throne of the great kingdom of Mahishmati and its biggest threat against the mysterious warlord Raktadev.
