October 8, 2025: The question about Baahubali 3 is still the biggest buzz in Indian cinema. Fans are very excited about the possibility of a third movie. However, the news from the makers is mixed. This makes everyone wonder what the future holds for the popular franchise.
Producer Says “No” to Immediate Plans
The film’s producer, Shobu Yarlagadda, recently gave a clear statement. He said that Baahubali 3 is not currently in development. There are no immediate plans to make the third part.
In an interview, Yarlagadda cleared up the rumours. He said, “No, Baahubali 3, for sure, no. We might have some other surprises, but not Baahubali 3.” He added that there is still “a lot more work to do” for a third movie. This news has disappointed many fans who were hoping for a quick sequel.
The Focus is on Baahubali: The Epic
Right now, the team’s full focus is on a new version of the first two films. This version is called Baahubali: The Epic. It combines Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion into one single film.
Director S. S. Rajamouli himself is working very hard on the final editing. He even paused his current project to finish this new cut. The makers say it is not just a simple re-release. It is a cinematic reinvention. They have enhanced the visuals and included some moments that were never seen before in theatres.

Baahubali: The Epic Release Date
Baahubali: The Epic is set to release on October 31, 2025. This date marks the 10th anniversary of the first film, Baahubali: The Beginning. The total runtime of this combined movie is around 3 hours and 40 minutes. The famous ‘Why Kattappa Killed Baahubali’ scene will be the interval point.
The Universe Will Expand: ‘Phase 2’ of Baahubali
Even though Baahubali 3 is not happening right now, the producer has given a big hint. Shobu Yarlagadda said that the re-release is just the “beginning of Phase 2” of the Baahubali universe.
He believes the world of Baahubali has many more stories to tell. Both he and S. S. Rajamouli are confident about this. This suggests that the franchise might expand in other ways. Maybe through spin-offs, web series, or other projects within the Mahishmati kingdom. There is a lot of potential.
Conflicting Reports and Speculations
However, there are also some conflicting reports. Another producer, K. E. Gnanavel Raja, recently said that Baahubali 3 will happen. He mentioned that the project is in the “planning stages.” He also said that the makers are taking a break before starting work on the third part. This gives hope to the fans.
There were also rumours that the official announcement for Baahubali 3 would be made at the end of Baahubali: The Epic. Producer Shobu Yarlagadda strongly denied this. But he did tease that there might be “other surprises” for the fans. This surprise is not an announcement for Baahubali 3. Fans are now eagerly speculating about what this secret surprise could be.
Rajamouli’s Future Plans
The big director S. S. Rajamouli is currently busy with other big projects. He is all set to start work on his next film, which is tentatively titled SSMB29. This movie stars superstar Mahesh Babu. It is rumoured to be a jungle adventure thriller.
Rajamouli will only start seriously thinking about Baahubali 3 or any other big project after finishing his commitments. So, for now, the Baahubali 3 door is open, but the makers are clear: it is not coming soon.
The focus is on reliving the epic story in its combined form, Baahubali: The Epic, on October 31st.
