Baahubali: The Epic (బాహుబలి: ది ఎపిక్) is the 2025 single-film version of S. S. Rajamouli‘s two-part Baahubali saga, re-edited and remastered from Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) to mark ten years since the first film. It stars Prabhas in a dual role, with Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah Bhatia, Ramya Krishna, Sathyaraj and Nassar. Produced by Shobu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni under Arka Media Works, it released worldwide on 31 October 2025.

What the film is about

The film tells the whole Baahubali story in one sitting. Shivudu, a young man raised by a tribal family at the foot of a great waterfall, climbs to the kingdom of Mahishmati and learns that he is royalty and that the kingdom is held by a tyrant, his uncle Bhallaladeva. Through the loyal warrior Kattappa he discovers what happened to his father, Amarendra Baahubali, and sets out to free the kingdom and its imprisoned queen Devasena.

What is different from the two films

Rajamouli announced the single-film version in July 2025. It combines footage from both parts with technical upgrades and a remastered score by M. M. Keeravani, adds one previously unreleased scene, and drops some sequences, including a romantic track and songs such as “Kannaa Nidurinchara”. Unlike the first film, the combined cut’s original language is Telugu only. Post-production was done at Annapurna Studios.
