The mighty Baahubali saga is returning to the big screen — this time as “Baahubali: The Epic”, a remastered and re-edited version that seamlessly combines Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali: The Conclusion. The film is set to release in theatres on October 31, with paid premieres in India on October 30 and overseas screenings beginning October 29.
Ahead of the release, Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, and director SS Rajamouli came together for a candid chat, revisiting the memories and magic behind India’s most iconic cinematic franchise. During their conversation, Prabhas asked Rajamouli about the final runtime and the portions trimmed for this unified version.
Rajamouli revealed that while the two original films together ran for about five and a half hours, Baahubali: The Epic now stands at approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes. He explained that the love track between Sivudu and Avantika (Prabhas and Tamannaah) from The Beginning was largely removed. Additionally, songs like “Paccha Bottesina,” “Kanna Nidurinchara,” and “Manohari” have been edited out to maintain narrative flow.
Certain battle sequences were also tightened, but Rajamouli assured that the essence, emotions, and grandeur remain untouched.
“The highs are still there. Only a few sequences that didn’t contribute much to the story were trimmed,” he said.
Addressing fan curiosity about new scenes, Rajamouli clarified that there are no major additions, except for a small intercut scene during Sivudu’s entry into Mahishmati featuring Nassar and a soldier — a moment he believes fans will appreciate.
In a surprise reveal, Rajamouli also confirmed that the film’s interval block will include a sneak peek at the next chapter in the Baahubali universe — an animated feature titled Baahubali: The Eternal War. Directed by Ishan Shukla and produced by Shobu Yarlagadda, the animated film is being made on a ₹12 crore budget and is slated for release in 2027.
