Fans of the Baahubali franchise have gotten some genuinely exciting news. Prabhas, Anushka Shetty, and Rana Daggubati have, in a way, officially confirmed that Baahubali 3 is in development , and yes it’s really happening. The announcement came out through a special promotional video that was released just before the Netflix premiere of Baahubali: The Torchbearer. That clip then, kind of immediately, picked up attention across social media and stirred up a lot of enthusiasm among movie lovers.

The cast confirms Baahubali 3

In the promotional video, Prabhas along with Anushka and Rana Daggubati surprised people with a big reveal. The actors mentioned that a third installment of the Baahubali story is being prepared. They also said the audience wasn’t expecting it, and that the next chapter is in motion for the fans, like it’s been cooking somewhere for a while.

It also looks like the announcement has restarted fresh interest in one of Indian cinema’s most successful and beloved film franchises.

Netflix special brings the surprise announcement

This news was shared before the streaming release of Baahubali: The Torchbearer on Netflix. Instead of a standard promotional spiel, the platform had the main cast share memories from the earlier films, while also letting everyone know about Baahubali 3.

The video didn’t stay quiet for long either. Soon it was being shared everywhere online, and fans were celebrating the return of that iconic franchise, the one people kinda hoped for but didn’t fully say out loud.

Memorable moments shared by the cast

Prabhas recalled a light-hearted little incident about Anushka Shetty. He said that once she starts laughing, it becomes really hard for her to stop. And according to him, she would sometimes try to avoid laughing on set, because long bursts of laughter could end up delaying filming, on those huge and expensive sets made for the movie.

Prabhas also described Baahubali as an emotional ride, something like a journey through his career. He framed it as more than just work, but as a phase that stayed with him.

Rana Daggubati joined the conversation and sort of, the cast went over their experience making the films. Sathyaraj, being the veteran actor he is, recalled the sheer magnitude of the whole production and the way everything was handled. He said he kept feeling amazed , at the huge number of costumes, and also at the careful preparation that seemed to surround the shoot like a constant routine.  

Why The Baahubali Franchise Stays So Different  

Baahubali, directed by S.S. Rajamouli, released across two parts and soon became one of the biggest milestones in Indian cinema. The films featured Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Sathyaraj, and Ramya Krishna, all in major roles.  

The franchise got major attention for its narration style, its visual effects, and that grand scale of production. On top of that, it introduced Telugu cinema to a much wider, global audience, which really helped it travel beyond familiar borders.  

What S.S. Rajamouli Has Mentioned About Baahubali 3  

Talks about a third Baahubali film have happened earlier as well. During the promotional run for RRR, S.S. Rajamouli said he would like to come back to the franchise, even if it can’t be immediate.  

Now with the most recent update coming from the cast, a lot of fans are thinking Rajamouli might start work on Baahubali 3 after he finishes his ongoing project. There’s still no confirmed production plan or release date, but this latest kind of confirmation has lifted expectations for the next entry.  

What Happens Next For Baahubali 3  

The official announcement has brought in new energy among viewers. Even though the plot specifics, production timing, and the cast schedule are not out yet, people are still eager to see the Baahubali world return on the big screen.  

More clarity should come later once S.S. Rajamouli and the production team decide to share proper official updates.
