SS Rajamouli’s Bahubali: The Beginning and Bahubali: The Conclusion are all set for a re-release after nearly a decade. The movie is renamed as ‘Bahubali: The Epic’ and is hitting theatres starting from 31 October 2025. 

The remastered version is seeing strong advance bookings globally. The booking count has even surpassed some of the new releases. The re-release featuring Prabhas and Rana Daggubati has now become the highest-grossing movie in the history of Indian cinema. 

Global Advance Booking Figures and Benchmarks

'Baahubali: The Epic' is a four-hour combined cut of the first two films. It has already collected more than Rs. 10 crore in global pre-sales, including premiere shows. India accounts for over Rs. 5 crore, while international bookings also contribute nearly the same amount. The international pre-sales are primarily driven by strong demand in North America.

Industry experts have even predicted that the film could become the first re-released Indian film to cross the Rs. 100 crore mark, which would be a great achievement, as new films with star power also struggle to do so. This Indian re-release currently holds the widest overseas footprint, spanning across 1,150 theatres across the world.
