Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, and Anushka Shetty starrer Baahubali remains iconic for more than one reason. The SS Rajamouli-led film franchise is now gearing up for a re-release in October 2025, with the two parts combined into a single movie.
However, buzz about the final version of the re-release film left everyone in a frenzy after speculation about its lengthy runtime of over 5 hours and 27 minutes surfaced.
Rana Daggubati reacts to length runtime buzz of Baahubali The Epic
Recently, actor Rana Daggubati broke his silence on the bizarre runtime news surrounding the re-release of his film Baahubali.
Speaking at the pre-release event for the film Kotthapallilo Okappudu in Hyderabad, the actor said, 'Only Rajamouli knows it. He will not share anything until it is locked.'
Why did Anushka Shetty skip attending Baahubali reunion?
It was recently that Baahubali clocked 10 years since its release, and the entire cast and crew arranged a reunion party. While nearly all the actors were present, it was Anushka Shetty who seemed to be missing from the evening.
A Telugu 360 report later suggested that the actress skipped attending the evening because of her look in Ghaati. Well, Anushka had lost a lot of weight for her role in the upcoming Krish Jagarlamudi directorial and had therefore been avoiding public appearances so far.
Whether you agree or not, Baahubali remains one of the most loved and popular films in Indian cinema. Audiences were left thrilled with the two-part period drama, which grossed a whopping amount at the box office.
In one of his previous interviews with Rajeev Masand, Prabhas had spilled the beans on the possibility of SS Rajamouli making a third part of the film franchise.
The actor mentioned that he had completed only 60 percent of the script in parts 1 and 2, and that a further portion remained.
In his words, 'If SS Rajamouli wants to do part 3, he should get excited. He only gave me 6 scripts, so he would have done some 10-14. We almost finished 60% there. I know he had the script in mind for 5 years. But I don't know if Baahubali 3 will happen or not.'

'OG Bad Boy': Hardik Pandya's Interaction With Hollywood Superstar Breaks Internet

Indian cricket team all-rounder Hardik Pandya 's interaction on social media with Hollywood superstar Will Smith has gone viral. Hardik posted a selfie on his Instagram account that quickly got popular among his followers. However, among the many comments, one was from Will Smith who decided to post a 'salute' emoji. Hardik responded with a similar emoji and wrote - 'OG Bad Boy'. It was in reference to Will Smith's popular film 'Bad Boys' which released back in 1995 and became a massive hit. Earlier, Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya met Maharashtra Governor C P Radhakrishnan at Raj Bhavan, Mumbai on Sunday. Sharing a post on X, Radhakrishnan expressed his delight after meeting both the players and said, "Delighted to meet our respected Indian Cricket Team Players Shri. @hardikpandya7 Ji and Shri. @krunalpandya24 Ji today at Raj Bhavan, Mumbai on a courtesy meet. My best wishes." Hardik Pandya, after a successful stint as captain of the Gujarat Titans, returned to the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. He took GT to secure their first maiden IPL title in 2022, and finished as runners-up in the following year. He returned to MI in 2024, where he had a tough outing. MI failed to qualify for the IPL playoffs. In 2025, IPL Pandya took MI to the Qualifier 2, where Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer led from the front as PBKS completed a convincing chase to beat MI by five wickets, thus booking their place in the final of IPL 2025 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Krunal Pandya was named Player of the Match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 18th edition final against Punjab Kings. Krunal, who Bengaluru acquired for Rs 5.75 crore, unleashed every weapon from his fully-loaded arsenal in the high-stakes final and left the spectators spellbound and returning with figures of 2/17 in his four-over spell. He single-handedly broke the backbone of Punjab's attempt to hunt down the 191-run target and steered Bengaluru to a six-run triumph and RCB's first IPL trophy victory. In his memorable outing, Krunal returned with the priceless scalps of Prabhsimran Singh (26) and Josh Inglis (39) to derail Punjab's attempts to chase the target. (WIth ANI inputs)
