The epic franchise surpassed ₹51.06 crore gross worldwide in 10 days, establishing it as the highest-grossing Indian re-release.

The film’s success, driven by its epic narrative and Prabhas’ portrayal of Bhallaladeva, drew strong performances in India and international markets like the US and UK.

Prabhas made his acting debut with the film Eeswar, which was released on November 11, 2002.

Over the decades, Prabhas has evolved from a popular regional star to a pan-India superstar, largely due to the monumental success of the Baahubali franchise, which changed the landscape of South Indian cinema and its reach across the nation and globally.

Coinciding with his 23rd anniversary in cinema, Prabhas completed the principal shooting for his upcoming horror-comedy, The Raja Saab.

The film is directed by Maruthi and is scheduled for a grand release on January 9, 2026, during the Sankranti festival.
