Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) will together hit the screens under the title, Baahubali The Epic, on Friday.
Baahubali The Epic has earned Rs 5 crore in India pre-sales and another Rs 5 crore from North America, which has a strong presence of Telugu diaspora. It will hit more than 1,150 theatres worldwide. The US alone will see the movie releasing in over 400 theatres, followed by 210 in the UK-Ireland region, more than 150 in the GCC countries and 144 in Australian and New Zealand.
Director SS Rajamouli, while addressing fans at Prasad Cinema in Hyderabad for the film’s special screening, said it was their love that brought Mahishmati back, referring to the mythical kingdom where the story of Baahubali is set.
"May the people of Mahishmati be blessed with good health! How are the kingdom’s crops growing? Are our businesses flourishing? Under Rajmata Devasena’s guidance, how is King Mahendra Baahubali’s rule progressing? That old man who wept like a child between life and death — is he at peace now? Even after 10 years, the love and affection you’ve showered upon us haven’t faded. I don’t think words can ever express my gratitude for that," Rajamouli said.
"So, why bring Baahubali back after all these years? It’s because of your love. You never stopped asking — “What’s happening with Baahubali? What’s happening in Mahishmati?" he added.
The re-release version of Baahubali will have a runtime of three hours and 45 minutes after several scenes were removed from the original movies. However, fans can also expect a few previously unseen scenes. The post-production of Baahubali The Epic, which has undergone technical enhancements, was done at Annapurna Studios. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) issued a U/A 16+ certificate for the movie.
Previously, Mahesh Babu's Khaleja opened at Rs 8.26 crore during its re-release while Pawan Kalyan's Gabbar Singh raked in Rs 8.02 crore.
