Introduction

Baahubali Part 3: The mighty roar of Baahubali echoes once again across cinema halls worldwide. Director S. S. Rajamouli, who redefined Indian cinema’s scale, storytelling, and spirit with Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali: The Conclusion, has now brought the saga back to the big screen — but with a spectacular twist. The two legendary films have been re-edited into a single cinematic experience, titled Baahubali: The Epic, running for a colossal four hours. This grand version premiered in the US on October 31 and hits Indian theatres 2025.But the biggest surprise wasn’t just the film. At the end of the screening, fans were stunned by the reveal of a brand-new animated film set in the Baahubali universe — Baahubali: The Eternal War – Part 1.

Is Baahubali 3 Confirmed?

Let’s get one thing straight — no, Baahubali 3 has not been officially confirmed.

Director S. S. Rajamouli himself clarified that while Baahubali: The Epic is a re-release in an extended and unified format, the teaser shown at the end does not belong to Baahubali 3. Instead, it’s for an independent 3D animated movie that explores the same universe in a brand-new way.

Rajamouli explained during a promotional interview,

“People are assuming we’re announcing Baahubali 3, but that’s not true. The teaser is from Baahubali: The Eternal War. It’s an animation project set in the same world but with a different story direction.”

This clears months of fan confusion and social media buzz about a supposed Baahubali 3 live-action sequel.

Is Baahubali 3 Coming on October 31?

The short answer is no. October 31 marks the release of Baahubali: The Epic — not Baahubali 3.

This re-edited version combines both original films (The Beginning and The Conclusion) into a four-hour theatrical spectacle. The re-release also includes some minorly enhanced visuals and a small additional dialogue scene recorded by veteran actor Nasser, who played Bijjaladeva.

But there’s no Baahubali 3 arriving on this date. Instead, audiences will witness a special teaser of Baahubali: The Eternal War – Part 1 at the end of the screening.

Is Baahubali Being Re-released?

Yes — and it’s bigger than ever!

The re-edited global version titled Baahubali: The Epic is the official re-release. It gives fans an uninterrupted experience of the full saga — from Amarendra Baahubali’s rise to Mahendra Baahubali’s revenge — in one breathtaking movie event.

The film stars Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah Bhatia, Ramya Krishnan, Sathyaraj, and Nasser in their iconic roles, under the music of M. M. Keeravaani.

It’s already receiving standing ovations during early screenings in the US, with fans calling it a “once-in-a-lifetime cinematic celebration.”

Who Is the Villain of Baahubali 3?

While there is no official Baahubali 3, the animated spin-off Baahubali: The Eternal War – Part 1 introduces a brand-new villain.

According to early insiders, this new antagonist is “unlike anyone seen before in Indian animation.” His character is said to be a powerful dark sorcerer who seeks to rewrite Mahishmati’s destiny.

Rajamouli teased,

“The new story takes the essence of Baahubali — courage, legacy, and destiny — and expands it into myth and magic. It’s the same universe, but the stakes are even higher.”

Is the Baahubali 3 Trailer Released?

No  but something even better has arrived!

The official teaser of Baahubali: The Eternal War – Part 1 was released with Baahubali: The Epic’s premiere. Fans described it as “breathtaking,” featuring sweeping battle sequences, glowing fortresses, and Prabhas’s animated avatar wielding his sword against a fiery backdrop.

This marks India’s first large-scale 3D animated fantasy epic — with a production budget of 120 crore, almost equal to Baahubali: The Beginning’s original live-action cost.

The animation is being handled by Fortiche, the acclaimed French studio behind Netflix’s Arcane. The film is directed by Ishan Shukla, and written by Deva Katta, Madhan Karki, Sowya Sharma, and Vinay Varanani.

Is Pushpa 2 Crossing 1500 Crore?

With Pushpa 2: The Rule already smashing pre-release business records, trade experts predict that it could easily surpass the 1500 crore mark globally — a benchmark once set by Baahubali 2: The Conclusion.

However, Rajamouli’s fans believe that Baahubali’s return through The Epic will reignite nostalgia and remind audiences where this cinematic revolution began.

Is RRR 2 Coming?

Another burning fan question!

Though RRR’s global triumph sparked hopes for a sequel, S. S. Rajamouli has not confirmed any RRR 2 project yet. In several interviews, he mentioned,

“There are ideas floating around, but I’m not rushing into it. Every film needs its own destiny.”

For now, Baahubali: The Eternal War seems to be his universe’s next expansion, with possible crossovers or connected storylines in the future.

Which Is the First 1000 Crore Movie in India?

It was none other than Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017).

This monumental success story redefined the global perception of Indian cinema. It was the first Indian movie to cross 1000 crore worldwide, shattering all box-office records and setting new standards for visual storytelling, VFX, and scale.

Even today, Baahubali 2 remains a cultural touchstone — its dialogues, characters, and battle scenes are part of pop culture across India and beyond.

The Team Behind Baahubali: The Eternal War

Producer Shobu Yarlagadda, who has been the backbone of the franchise, revealed exciting details:

“This 3D animated project has been in development for two and a half years. We’ve collaborated with international studios and artists to ensure it meets world-class standards.”

The film’s music will once again be composed by M. M. Keeravaani, ensuring that the soul of Baahubali remains intact even in animated form.

Prabhas, expressing his excitement, said,

“It’s already a blockbuster if the audience loves it. A ₹120 crore animated film — that’s historic! The legacy continues.”

A New Era of Indian Cinema Begins

With Baahubali: The Epic uniting fans once again, and Baahubali: The Eternal War promising a visually stunning animated journey, the franchise is proving it’s far from over.

Rajamouli’s storytelling continues to evolve — from live action to animation — keeping audiences hooked to Mahishmati’s eternal legend.

The Baahubali universe may be changing forms, but its heart remains the same: a story of courage, sacrifice, destiny, and eternal legacy.

Conclusion

As the lights go down and the music swells, audiences around the world are ready to experience Mahishmati like never before. Whether you watch The Epic in theatres or await The Eternal War on the horizon — one truth stands tall:
