SS Rajamouli’s blockbuster Baahubali is returning to theatres, but this time with a twist! Baahubali: The Epic, is a special re-edited and digitally re-mastered version that combines Part 1 and Part 2 into one long continuous cut. This is the first time in Indian cinema that a two-part film has been merged into a single theatrical release.

On Sunday, the makers dropped a video of Prabhas, who hinted at the dates in his signature laid-back style. He first announced that the film would be in theatres on October 31, then paused and added, “I think,” after which a text confirmed that international premieres begin October 29, a full two days before the India release.

Huge response even before release

Even though this is not a new film, the re-release is already earning big. As per industry tracker Sacnilk, advance bookings across the world have reportedly crossed Rs 5 crore, with North America alone crossing 200,000 dollars in pre-sales. Trade trackers say this kind of hype for a re-release is extremely rare and shows how strong the Baahubali fandom still is.
