Baahubali: The Epic OTT release date: When and where to watch Prabhas, Anushka Shetty, Rana Daggubati epic action movie

More than a decade after Baahubali reshaped Indian cinema, SS Rajamouli has found a new way to bring the saga back into the spotlight. With Baahubali: The Epic, the filmmaker has stitched together both films into one sweeping narrative, offering fans a fresh way to experience Mahishmati’s legendary rise and fall. After a successful theatrical re-release, the long-awaited OTT arrival is finally happening, just in time for Christmas.

SS Rajamouli’s ambitious reimagining, titled Baahubali: The Epic, first hit theatres in October 2025. Instead of presenting Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion as separate films, the director created a single, tightly edited version that blends both parts into one continuous story. The original combined runtime of the two films was nearly 5 hours and 48 minutes. For this special cut, Rajamouli and his team reshaped the narrative and brought it down to a more immersive 3 hours and 40 minutes.

The re-release arrived on the big screen on October 3 and quickly became a nostalgic event for fans who had followed the franchise since its original release. For many, it was a rare chance to revisit the grandeur of Mahishmati, the thunderous background score, and the emotional arcs of Amarendra and Mahendra Baahubali in a refreshed format.

Baahubali: The Epic on OTT

Now, audiences who missed the theatrical run finally have a reason to celebrate. Baahubali: The Epic is set to stream on Netflix from December 25, perfectly timed with Christmas. While Netflix has not yet made a formal announcement on its social media platforms, the title appears on the app with a confirmed release date of December 25, making the OTT launch effectively official.

This development comes as welcome news for viewers who were unable to catch the film in theatres or simply want to experience the saga again from home. The streaming release marks the next phase of the film’s journey, extending its reach to a global audience that first embraced Baahubali years ago.

Cast of Baahubali: The Epic

The epic features an ensemble cast led by Prabhas, with Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah Bhatia, Ramya Krishnan, and Nassar playing pivotal roles. Their performances, combined with Rajamouli’s large-scale storytelling, helped Baahubali evolve into more than just a blockbuster — it became a cultural phenomenon.

According to Sacnilk, Baahubali: The Epic collected Rs 51.72 crore worldwide during its re-release run. The numbers add another milestone to the franchise’s already staggering box office legacy. Baahubali: The Beginning went on to earn Rs 650 crore worldwide, while Baahubali 2 shattered records with a massive Rs 1,788 crore global collection.
