- SS Rajamouli to unveil Baahubali: The Epic teaser with Coolie and War 2 on August 14.
- Reimagined cut combines both original Baahubali films with an extended runtime.
- Rajinikanth’s Coolie leads advance bookings ahead of Hrithik Roshan–Jr NTR’s War 2.
To celebrate a decade since Baahubali: The Beginning captivated audiences, SS Rajamouli is preparing a grand re-release titled Baahubali: The Epic.
The teaser for Baahubali: The Epic will make its debut on August 14, attached to screenings of two highly anticipated releases—Rajinikanth’s Coolie and Hrithik Roshan–Jr NTR’s War 2.
Epic Meets Clash: Baahubali Teaser to Premiere Alongside Coolie & War 2
Rajamouli’s decision to revisit the Baahubali saga comes as the franchise celebrates 10 years of influence on Indian cinema’s global perception. The combined edit is designed to deliver a seamless storytelling flow, allowing audiences to immerse themselves in the world of Mahishmati without the narrative break between parts one and two.
The Independence Day window is one of the most competitive periods for Indian cinema, and the addition of the Baahubali teaser to this year’s lineup could intensify audience turnout. The move not only amplifies hype for the 2025 release but also positions Coolie and War 2 to benefit from crossover interest.
Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has become the pre-release frontrunner thanks to Rajinikanth’s enduring popularity, especially in Tamil Nadu. With Aamir Khan making a cameo appearance, the film has already generated unprecedented buzz in both mass and multiplex circuits.
On the other hand, War 2—part of YRF’s expanding spy universe—presents a unique selling point: a grand dance-off between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR alongside the action spectacle. With Kiara Advani and Ashutosh Rana also on board, the film is eyeing strong word-of-mouth and premium format audiences.
By pairing Baahubali: The Epic’s teaser with two of the year’s most awaited releases, Rajamouli has ensured a nationwide conversation well ahead of the film’s 2025 debut—turning Independence Day into a cinematic festival.
