The re-release of Baahubali in October, which can be dubbed the “mother of all re-releases,” promises to reignite the magic of S.S. Rajamouli’s epic on big screens. Producer Shobu Yarlagadda enthuses, “I am thrilled to inform you all that we are planning an Indian and international re-release of Baahubali 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.”
Hollywood classics like Titanic and The Lord of the Rings have seen roaring success with re-releases, drawing nostalgic fans and new viewers to experience grand visuals in theaters.
Baahubali’s sweeping scale, iconic characters (Amarendra, Mahendra, Sivagami, Devasena, Kattappa, Bijjaladeva et al), and cultural resonance could mirror this triumph, especially with promised surprises. As theaters brace for this spectacle, fans seem poised to relive the saga’s grandeur. Rajamouli's involvement in promoting the movie could see an upsurge in collections in northern India.
Starring Prabhas in a dual role, the two Baahubali movies were released in 2015 and 2017. The second part smashed several industry records with ease. MM Keeravani's music played a crucial role in scripting the phenomenal successes.
