Baahubali: The Epic to release on Oct 31, 2025; buzz over Baahubali 3 revival grows

HYDERABAD: The Baahubali saga, directed by S. S. Rajamouli and produced by Arka Media Works, is set to return to theatres with Baahubali: The Epic, a remastered single-film version combining both Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017). Scheduled for release on October 31, 2025, the film will feature new footage and upgraded presentation formats such as IMAX, marking a decade since the franchise began.

Industry confirms early-stage development of Baahubali 3

Producer K. E. Gnanavel Raja and other industry sources have confirmed that plans are underway for a third Baahubali instalment after years of speculation. While the concept, storyline, and timeline remain under wraps, reports indicate that pre-production discussions have begun with the original creative team expected to return. Actor Prabhas is likely to reprise his role if the project materialises.
Insiders believe Baahubali 3 could set new box office benchmarks, given the franchise’s enduring global popularity.

Fans speculate about sequel tease in upcoming release

Social media platforms and fan communities have seen a surge of speculation following Rajamouli’s anniversary announcements. The removal of earlier Baahubali versions from streaming platforms such as Netflix has fuelled rumours that Baahubali: The Epic may include a teaser or announcement hinting at Baahubali 3 towards its end.

Awaiting official confirmation from Arka Media Works

If an announcement for Baahubali 3 is indeed made during or after Baahubali: The Epic, it would mark a major cinematic development and fulfil long-held fan expectations. Official details are expected closer to the film’s release, with announcements anticipated from Rajamouli and Arka Media Works.
