The original two-part Baahubali films, directed by S. S. Rajamouli and produced by Arka Media Works, are among India's highest-grossing films. The saga, starring Prabhas as Amarendra and Mahendra Baahubali, gained widespread popularity in India and internationally.

The film combines both parts of the original saga with a remastered score by M. M. Keeravani. Some scenes, including the romantic sequence "Kannaa Nidurinchara" and one song, were removed, while previously unseen scenes were added.

Teasers and posters released in August 2025 highlighted upgraded visual effects and Dolby Atmos sound. [11] A 10th-anniversary event in Hyderabad featured Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, S. S. Rajamouli and M. M. Keeravani. [12]
Baahubali: The Epic will release worldwide on 31 October 2025. [13] [14]
