BAAHUBALI: THE EPIC
Baahubali: The Epic is an upcoming Indian Telugu-language epic action film directed and co-edited by S. S. Rajamouli. It is a re-edited and remastered single-film version of Rajamouli’s earlier two-part saga, Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017), combining footage from both films with technical enhancements and previously unseen scenes. Produced by Shobu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni under Arka Media Works, the film stars Prabhas in a triple role, alongside Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah Bhatia, Ramya Krishna, Sathyaraj, Nassar, and Subbaraju.
The film follows Sivudu, a young warrior raised in a tribal village, who learns of his royal heritage and aims to liberate the kingdom of Mahishmati from its oppressive ruler. His journey involves conflicts, alliances, and revelations about the kingdom’s past. With a runtime of 224 minutes, it is one of the longest Indian films. Baahubali: The Epic is scheduled for a pre-release in select theaters in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Ireland on 29 October 2025, followed by a worldwide theatrical release in premium large formats on 31 October 2025.[1][2]
Plot
An elderly woman emerges from a cave underneath a mountain, carrying an infant. While trying to cross a raging river, she is swept away by the current. She holds the baby above the water, praying to Lord Shiva to save him for Mahishmati’s future. The Amburi tribe saves the child, and their chieftain’s wife, Sanga, adopts him, naming him Sivudu.
Sivudu grows up ambitious and curious, obsessed with climbing the mountain despite his mother’s pleas, but fails each time. As a young man, he shows great strength while moving a lingam of Lord Shiva to the foot of the mountain. A mask falls from above. Learning that the mask belongs to a woman, Sivudu decides to find her and climbs the mountain successfully. Upon reaching the top, he meets Avanthika, the mask’s owner, and follows her. He learns she belongs to a resistance group working to overthrow Mahishmati’s tyrannical king, Bhallaladeva, and free the imprisoned princess Devasena.
Sivudu, taken with Avanthika, joins her cause and infiltrates Mahishmati’s palace as a guard. He distracts Bhallaladeva and rescues Devasena. Bhallaladeva sends his son, Bhadrudu, and his general, Kattappa, to pursue Sivudu. In the fight, Sivudu kills Bhadrudu as the Amburi and resistance members join him. Kattappa, seeing Sivudu’s face, submits and calls him “Baahubali.” Kattappa reveals that Sivudu is Mahendra Baahubali, son of Amarendra Baahubali, a noted warrior prince of Mahishmati, and that Queen Sivagami, his grandmother, saved him.
