The producer further added, “We have a lot to tell from the Baahubali world. This re-release is not a one-off thing but the beginning of Phase 2 of Baahubali. We strongly believe there are plenty of stories that can be told from this world.” These comments from the producer have led to a flurry of speculations on social media, with predictions raging from a collab between Prabhas and SS Rajamouli to a spin-off set in the same universe.

The runtime of Baahubali: The Epic is 3 hours and 40 minutes. Shobu also clarified whether Hrithik Roshan was also considered for the leading role in the two-part magnum opus. “From day 1, the role of Baahubali was meant for Prabhas. We never approached stars like Hrithik Roshan or anyone else,” the producer told Gulte.
