"Rana Daggubati's Bold Statement Sparks Prabhas's Unanticipated Response: 'If Not Kattappa, I Would Have Slain Bahubali'"
In 2025, fans of Indian cinema will have the opportunity to revisit the epic saga of Baahubali as the re-edited version, Baahubali: The Epic, is set to hit theatres worldwide on October 31st. This re-release marks the 10th anniversary of the original film, Baahubali: The Beginning, which was first released in 2015.
Director SS Rajamouli and the producers have chosen to celebrate this significant milestone by re-releasing the films in a new format, aiming to present the story in a seamless manner with tighter pacing. The re-release is part of a broader strategy to retell the epic story in a more streamlined and engaging way, providing audiences with a full-fledged film experience rather than a celebratory screening.
The release date, coinciding with lead actor Prabhas' birthday week, adds to the excitement among fans. Baahubali: The Epic will be released in multiple languages, including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam, ensuring that the story reaches a wide audience.
The original Baahubali films, both parts of the saga, broke box office records, set new benchmarks, and changed the course of Indian cinema forever. Baahubali remains the highest-grossing Indian movie of all time, with over ₹1000 crore in global earnings. The Hindi dubbed version of the film still holds the record for the highest-grossing dubbed Hindi film ever.
The first part of Baahubali ended with audiences worldwide stunned with one question: Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali? This question sparked a global frenzy, with a tweet from the film's official handle reigniting the curiosity: "What if Kattappa didn't kill Baahubali?" In response, Rana Daggubati, a key cast member, cheekily replied, "I would have killed him instead."
In Baahubali: The Conclusion, it was revealed that Sivagami ordered Kattappa to take the tragic step. Rajamouli's visionary storytelling, jaw-dropping scale, and stellar performances from the lead cast, including Prabhas and Rana Daggubati, shattered every cinematic boundary.
Baahubali holds multiple National Awards, including Best Feature Film and Best Special Effects. The film is considered a film that redefined Indian cinema on the global stage, and its re-release, Baahubali: The Epic, aims to bring the legendary saga back to the big screen in its epic glory.
Movies-and-TV lovers can look forward to the re-release of the epic saga, Baahubali: The Epic, as part of a wider entertainment strategy to retell the story in a more streamlined and engaging way. This re-edited version, marking the 10th anniversary of Baahubali: The Beginning, will be hitting theatres worldwide on October 31st, ensuring that the entertainment industry continues to celebrate this significant milestone in Indian cinema.
