Overview
- Early international premieres, including a U.S. screening on Oct. 29, drew enthusiastic responses to the nearly four-hour IMAX presentation.
- Annapurna Studios completed a 9–10 week DI and multi-format remaster, delivering new masters for IMAX, Dolby, 4DX, D-Box, ICE and more, with a U/A certificate and a 3h43–44m runtime.
- The single-film cut trims songs and subplots to tighten pace, including major reductions to Avantika’s arc and the removal of ‘Pacha Bottesina’, with no substantial new scenes beyond a brief Nassar-dubbed insert.
- Trade trackers report advance bookings crossing about ₹10 crore worldwide, roughly split between India and North America, setting up a record opening for an Indian re-release.
- Screenings carry a teaser for Baahubali: The Eternal War, a 3D animated feature in production reported at about ₹120 crore, which the team clarified is not ‘Baahubali 3’.
