News Baahubali: The Epic Baahubali: RRR Director’s Fantasy Epic Gets Remastered Theatrical Release and New Trailer “For the tenth anniversary, I didn’t just want to re-release what audiences had already seen. I wanted to create a new experience.” By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on August 26, 2025 Screenshot: Variance Films Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Variance Films SS Rajamouli, the writer-director behind the epic masterpiece, RRR, is re-releasing his also-epic two-part fantasy feature as one film to celebrate its tenth anniversary. The films in question are 2015’s Baahubali: The Beginning and 2017’s Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. Rajamouli has re-edited and remastered the films into one feature with the new title Baahubali: The Epic. It will release worldwide this fall as a nearly four-hour cut that includes a ten-minute intermission. The features are what Rajamouli was best known for before RRR. They come from scripts written by his father, V. Vijayendra Prasad, and, according to Entertainment Weekly, “combines tales told by the father to the son, along with elements from ancient Hindu texts that had long fascinated the director.” The official synopsis of the project is almost as long as the Baahubali films, but here’s the need-to-know information: When a lost prince is rescued and raised in exile, he grows up unaware of his past. Years later, he returns to uncover the truth about his father’s murder and his mother’s imprisonment, and must rise to reclaim his place as the rightful king. “Both Baahubali films were always imagined as one story, but it was too vast to fit into a single film, which is why we told it in two parts,” Rajamouli told EW. “For the tenth anniversary, I didn’t just want to re-release what audiences had already seen. I wanted to create a new experience.” The movie includes “a few new surprises” as well, though Rajamouli said the editing process was challenging. “Editing the combined runtime of 5 hours and 27 minutes into one seamless version was perhaps the hardest part of this journey,” Rajamouli told EW. “We went through intense debates and even heated arguments about what to keep and what to remove. Every scene and song in Baahubali is precious to me, so making those choices was never easy, but some sacrifices had to be made.” Baahubali: The Epic premieres worldwide in theaters on October 31, 2025.
