Baahubali is more than just a blockbuster franchise. It changed the scale of Indian cinema and created a world that fans have never stopped talking about. Over the years, Mahishmati has expanded through books, animated content and immersive experiences, but one question has always remained the same. Will there ever be a Baahubali 3?
Looks like the wait is finally coming to an end. The final moments of the newly released Netflix documentary series Baahubali: The Torchbearer deliver a surprise that no fan saw coming. As SS Rajamouli and Shobu Yarlagadda are not around, Rana Daggubati jokingly says, “The world may not be ready yet, but there will be Baahubali…” Before he can finish, Prabhas flashes three fingers with a smile, instantly sending everyone on the couch into laughter, including Anushka Shetty. The series then signs off with the words, “And the legacy continues!”
That one moment is enough to set social media on fire. It is as official a confirmation as fans could have hoped for. Baahubali 3 is happening.
Of course, there are no details yet on when Rajamouli will begin the project, what direction the story will take, or how long fans will have to wait. Those answers will come in due course, and knowing Rajamouli, they are likely to be revealed on a stage worthy of the franchise’s legacy. Until then, this single tease is enough to reignite the excitement around Mahishmati, and for millions of fans, the countdown has unofficially begun.
