The article focuses on the motivations behind releasing **Baahubali: The Epic**—a special 3.5-hour cut combining the two-part Baahubali saga—on its 10th anniversary. Producer Shobu Yarlagadda clarifies that **financial gain is not the primary reason** for this release. Instead, the goal is to celebrate a decade since the first film's premiere and to give audiences who missed the original theatrical experience a chance to see the story as a single, grand film on the big screen[7]. Yarlagadda notes that the **original two-film format was necessitated by the scope and scale of the story**, but now, director S.S. Rajamouli has personally recut the material into a unified saga. The re-release will have **pan-India and global distribution**, emphasizing nostalgia and cinematic experience over box office returns. This sentiment reflects a broader shift in the industry, where major producers occasionally revisit iconic films for cultural celebration, not just commercial reasons[7].
