Baahubali Franchise Celebrates Triumphant Comeback with Re-Release

In November 2025, the acclaimed Baahubali franchise has made a triumphant comeback with the re-release of the two-part saga in consolidated form across theaters. Rana Daggubati, who portrayed the iconic character of Bhallaldeva, spoke to Hindustan Times about the renewed magic surrounding this cinematic event.

Originally released separately in 2015 and 2017, the Baahubali films have now been merged for this revisit, serving as a potent reminder of the franchise's enduring resonance. Daggubati expressed his pride, stating that the fact the films are "celebrated after a decade really means something." He also revealed a personal highlight, having watched the re-release in IMAX at a Chinese theater in Los Angeles, describing it as a "really, really good experience."

Looking ahead, Daggubati remains unapologetically ambitious, determined to recreate the level of success achieved by the Baahubali franchise. He emphasized the need to find the "right group of people" to make "special things happen" once again. This re-release not only underscores the legacy of the Baahubali saga but also signals the continued growth and ambition of Indian cinema.
