Fans of the Baahubali franchise are excited to watch the two films together as the makers are coming up with an epic re-release on October 31. The excitement of fans was translated in the advanced booking of the movie as the pre-sales crossed Rs 10 crore worldwide, reports trade analysts.
This makes the movie the highest re-release opening for any Indian movie.
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.
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.
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.
