A decade after ‘Baahubali’ first shook Indian cinema to its core, director S.S. Rajamouli is ready to bring the epic back to theatres; this time, as a single cinematic experience.

To celebrate the 10-year milestone of the film that turned into a nationwide obsession, Rajamouli has announced ‘Baahubali: The Epic’, a two-part film merged into one grand presentation, hitting cinemas worldwide on October 31, 2025.

The filmmaker shared the news with fans via X (formerly Twitter), posting a new poster of Prabhas in character and writing, “Baahubali… The beginning of many journeys. Countless memories. Endless inspiration. It’s been 10 years. Marking this special milestone with #BaahubaliTheEpic, a two-part combined film. In theatres worldwide on October 31, 2025.”

The film will release in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Hindi, giving fans across India, and the globe, a chance to relive the journey that redefined Indian blockbuster storytelling.

Originally released as two separate films, ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’ in 2015 and ‘Baahubali: The Conclusion’ in 2017, the franchise became a cultural juggernaut.

The story follows the power struggles within the kingdom of Mahishmati, centering on cousins Amarendra Baahubali and Bhallaladeva. While Amarendra, played by Prabhas, is noble and selfless, Bhallaladeva (Rana Daggubati) stops at nothing in his hunger for the throne.

The narrative, seen through the eyes of Amarendra’s son Mahendra, is filled with betrayal, sacrifice, love, war, and redemption.

It famously left viewers hanging with one burning question. “Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali?”, a cliffhanger that became a nationwide meme and a conversation starter for two years straight.

When ‘Baahubali: The Conclusion’ released, it shattered records to become the first Indian film to cross ₹1,000 crore globally. It was no longer just a Telugu or Indian film, it was a pan-Indian and international phenomenon.
