Introduction
The saga that redefined Indian cinema is back on the grandest scale yet.
Director S. S. Rajamouli has officially unveiled Baahubali: The Epic, a re-edited, remastered, and re-imagined version of his record-breaking franchise. Slated for a 31 October 2025 worldwide release, the film blends Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) into a single seamless experience—offering fans a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness the rise and fall of Mahishmati in one sitting.
