The prestigious Baahubali franchise is set for a grand re-release on October 31, 2025, under the title Baahubali: The Epic. Rajamouli, along with his team, is personally overseeing the editing work for this Prabhas starrer. On the other hand, producer Shobu Yarlagadda is promoting the re-release through media interviews.
In an interview, Shobu Yarlagadda clarified that they never approached Bollywood star hero Hrithik Roshan for the Baahubali role, in contrast to what is being speculated online. He said, “I see online chatter that we asked Hrithik for Baahubali’s role. That never happened. From day one, that role was designed only for Prabhas.”
Shobu Yarlagadda, at the moment, is not thinking about the box office numbers as he sees Baahubali: The Epic as a celebration of the cult film that raised the bar for Indian cinema. The bookings have started to open in the USA, and soon the advances will kickstart in India.
