Are we getting a 'Baahubali 3'?
What's the story
The possibility of a third installment in the Baahubali franchise has taken a new turn after a clip from the documentary Baahubali: The Torchbearer went viral. In the video, lead actors Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, and Anushka Shetty seem to hint at another film in SS Rajamouli's blockbuster series. This has left fans wondering if Baahubali 3 is finally happening!
Viral clip
What exactly did the clip show?
In the now-viral clip, Daggubati is heard saying, "I don't know if I should say this publicly, since Rajamouli and Shobu (Yarlagadda) garu aren't here, I will just say what's on my mind. The world may not be ready yet, but there will be Baahubali..." before trailing off. Moments later, Prabhas holds up three fingers with a smile, causing both Daggubati and Shetty to capture and lower his hands. The clip ends with the words "And the legacy continues!"
