A Quick Recap: Dive Back into the Epic Lore of Mahishmati Kingdom
For those who need a refresher, or if you’re somehow new to the legend, Baahubali: The Epic plunges you into a world of royalty, revenge, and destiny. The story centers on Sivudu, an orphan rescued from a river as a baby and raised in a quiet tribal village. His world expands when a mysterious warrior's mask leads him to climb a towering waterfall, uncovering a kingdom gripped by tyranny.
There, he meets the fierce rebel Avantika, inspiring him to join the mission to rescue Princess Devasena, who has been wrongfully imprisoned for twenty-five years. Upon freeing her, the people begin to recognize Sivudu. A shocking revelation from the loyal guard Kattappa confirms his true identity: Mahendra Baahubali, the son of the noble King Amarendra Baahubali.
The past unfolds: Amarendra was betrayed and killed by his jealous cousin Bhallaladeva, a tragic event orchestrated by lies that even led their matriarch Sivagami to order Amarendra's death, carried out by a misled Kattappa. Now, Mahendra Baahubali must rise, challenge Bhallaladeva, and reclaim his rightful throne in Mahishmati. It’s a classic tale of good versus evil, family rivalry, and epic heroism that captivated millions.

Inside Scoop: Producer Shobu Yarlagadda Spills the Baahubali Beans
The producers, Shobu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni of Arka Media Works, have been deeply involved in bringing this vision to life. Shobu recently shared some fascinating insights, revealing that the idea of combining the two films isn't entirely new.
"We actually tried something like this around 2018–19, it was just an edit. We combined both the films to see how it would look, but everyone got busy with different projects, and we dropped it," Yarlagadda stated. He expressed immense gratitude to Rajamouli and his team for treating this re-edit like a brand-new film, emphasizing that with Rajamouli, "there are no half measures."
He also managed expectations regarding new content, confirming there would be "very little" new or unused footage, as Rajamouli's shooting style is incredibly precise. However, he teased, "Come with no expectations and you might be pleasantly surprised."
"Editing has been one of the most challenging tasks of making this version! With @ssrajamouli and entire team @BaahubaliMovie, there are no half measures! When we do something we go all the way and try to give you the very best we can!"
— Shobu Yarlagadda, Producer
