Prakash Jha along with the director of his serial, Anshuman Kishore Singh did a mahurat shot which launched the show and then proceeded to a press conference.

Speaking at a press conference the acclaimed film maker told the media that 40 episodes of BAAHUBALI have already been canned and the show will go on air next year on Doordarshan. The cast consisting of great actors such as Mukesh Tiwari, Mohan Joshi, Chetan Pandit, Daya Shankar Pandey, Vishnu Sahrma and many more were also present at the event.

This year there are two films from Prakash Jha Productions - Manish Tiwari's DIL DOSTI ETC (Released in September), and Sudhir Mishra's KHOYA KHOYA CHAND.

This step of Prakash Jha Productions to enter Television Production is not just to make its presence felt, but to create an awareness of their kind of work amongst the viewers through the strong content and quality, which is their main driving force. At the same time many talented and creative minds who are wanting to excel and do different and meaningful television will get a platform to showcase their piece of work through Prakash Jha Productions.

Though not being the first time, Prakash Jha Productions has a history of a few legendry serials and features, and so entering television production again was a natural progression.

Having already made trend-setting series like MUNGERILAL KE HASEEN SAPNEY and MUNGERI KA BHAI NAURANGILAL, which were highly acclaimed and popular to the extent of being used as phrases in our day to day lives, the forthcoming projects are also being made with a thorough content driven approach and the sensibilities which trigger the viewers' think tank.

In the pipeline Prakash Jha Productions has also planned the revival of it's trend- setting and legendry series MUNGERILAL KE HASEEN SAPNEY.
