Rajamouli's blockbuster Prabhas-starrer 'Baahubali' confirmed for re-release

Producer Shobu Yarlagada, who backed Baahubali - The Beginning and Baahubali - The Conclusion has announced the Prabhas-starrer's re-release on big screens in October, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of its release. The news was shared by Yarlagada on social media platform X. An official date is yet to be announced.

The producer had earlier teased, in March, plans of re-release when he asked followers whether they should go ahead with the plan. Resharing the same tweet, Yarlagada captioned it, "And on this special day, I am thrilled to inform you all that we are planning an Indian and international re-release of @BaahubaliMovie in October this year. It won't just be a re-release, it will be a year of celebration for our beloved fans! Expect nostalgia, new reveals, and a few epic surprises along the way. Stay tuned! #ReliveTheEpic! #BaahubaliReturns"

The mention of "new reveals" and "few epic surprises" have led some to speculate whether there will be any additional footage or bonus material that would delight fans of the franchise.

An epic spanning multiple generations, the Baahubali films were born out of Rajamouli's love for classic mythological and comicbook stories. He created the screenplays based on a story by V. Vijayendra Prasad. MM Keeravani produced the chart-busting original music and background score.

Starring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah Bhatia, Ramya Krishnan, Nassar, and Sathyaraj among others, the big-scale fantasy epic was made on a budget of Rs 180 cr and grossed Rs 650 cr worldwide. Baahubali: The Beginning won two National Awards — Best Feature Film and Best Special Effects.
