“Baahubali” fans are in for a treat as the epic saga is set to return to theatres in 2025 to celebrate its 10th anniversary. This announcement was made on the eighth anniversary of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion by producer Shobu Yarlagadda, who shared the exciting news on social media. The re-release is scheduled for October 2025 and will include not just the original films but also new surprises for fans.

The Baahubali franchise, directed by SS Rajamouli, revolutionized Indian cinema, placing Telugu films firmly on the global map. The first movie, Baahubali: The Beginning, was released in 2015, followed by Baahubali 2: The Conclusion in 2017. Both films, with their sweeping visuals, larger-than-life characters, and emotional drama, created a massive impact both in India and abroad. The films were a commercial success, collectively grossing over Rs 2,000 crore at the global box office.

Shobu Yarlagadda, while marking the eighth anniversary of Baahubali 2, took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce the return of the films to cinemas: “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 return of the franchise will not only give fans the opportunity to revisit the story but will also offer new experiences. According to Yarlagadda’s statement, the re-release will feature new reveals, providing an even deeper connection to the franchise’s world. These additions could include behind-the-scenes footage, new scenes, or previously unseen content, all aimed at enhancing the nostalgia for long-time fans of the saga.

When Baahubali first hit cinemas, it changed the way the world viewed Indian cinema. The scale, visual effects, and action sequences were unlike anything seen before in Indian films. But it wasn’t just the visuals that made the film a hit—it was the emotional depth of the story. SS Rajamouli’s direction, combined with a stellar ensemble cast, ensured that Baahubali resonated with audiences of all kinds. The universal themes of love, betrayal, power, and vengeance were at the core of its appeal.

Prabhas starred as the powerful Bahubali (Shivudu) and his counterpart, the villainous Bhallaladeva, was portrayed by Rana Daggubati. Other notable stars like Anushka Shetty, Ramya Krishnan, Nasser, and Tamannaah Bhatia also contributed significantly to the film’s success. The powerful performances, especially by Ramya Krishnan as Sivagami, and Anushka Shetty as Devasena, further brought the film’s emotional depth to life.

For Rajamouli, Baahubali’s success confirmed his belief in the power of basic human emotions to connect with audiences. He had said in 2022, “Over the course of my career, I learned that the stronger the emotions, or the more basic the emotions, the more people tend to like your movie. That’s what I have been doing.”

The 2025 re-release comes at an opportune time as the film’s influence continues to reverberate. With Baahubali reaching international audiences and gaining global recognition, its re-release will undoubtedly rekindle fond memories of the epic saga for fans worldwide. As the 10th anniversary of the franchise approaches, the excitement surrounding its return to theatres is sure to grow, with fans eagerly awaiting what surprises and revelations the filmmakers have in store.

In conclusion, the Baahubali saga’s return to theatres promises to be more than just a re-release. With new reveals and surprises, fans will be able to revisit the iconic story in a fresh light, marking a significant milestone for both the franchise and Indian cinema.
