Baahubali is a cinematic gift that keeps on giving. After Baahubali: The Epic, which combined the two instalments of SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus, opened in theatres this October, 2027 will bring Baahubali: The Eternal War Part 1. The animated epic will take off from Baahubali: The Beginning’s climax (2015) and follow Prabhas’s Amarendra into the afterlife.
Ishan Shukla, who is helming the two-part animated feature that will have Prabhas and Ramya Krishnan voice the two primary characters, says the idea came from Rajamouli and producer Shobu Yarlagadda almost two years ago. At the time, Shukla was doing festival rounds with his animation film, Schirkoa: In Lies We Trust (2024). “The Star Wars episode that I had done had also come out. Shobu got in touch with me and wanted to explore if we could do something together on Baahubali. At that time, I wasn’t sure if I was capable enough to do something huge like that,” recounts the director.
