Baahubali: The Epic is an upcoming Indian epic action film edited and directed by S. S. Rajamouli. The project is a re-edited and remastered presentation of Rajamouli's earlier two-part saga, Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017). It has been described as a single-film version of the Baahubali story, combining footage from both films with new technical enhancements and selective alterations. The film is scheduled for theatrical release on 31 October 2025 in IMAX, 4DX, D-Box, Dolby Cinema and EPIQ formats. [1] [2]
The original two-part Baahubali films, directed by Rajamouli and produced by Arka Media Works, were among the highest-grossing Indian films of all time. The saga, starring Prabhas as Amarendra and Mahendra Baahubali, became a cultural phenomenon in India and internationally. [3]
In July 2025, Rajamouli announced that the franchise would return in a single-film format to mark its tenth anniversary. Media outlets described the project as a significant cultural milestone in South Indian cinema. [4] [5]
