'Baahubali: The Eternal War'—The epic saga gets an animated twist

Entertainment Nov 19, 2025

Baahubali is coming back, but this time as an animated film called "Baahubali: The Eternal War."
Animation director Ishan Shukla is teaming up with SS Rajamouli to explore what happens to Amarendra Baahubali after his death, taking the story into a battle across 14 different worlds.
Shukla says animation lets them push the story beyond anything live-action could do.

Why this matters for fans and animation lovers

Shukla, known for projects like Star Wars: Visions and Schirkoa, wants to make something that both Baahubali fans and global animation buffs will enjoy.
He points out that Indian animation is on the rise—especially since more people started streaming anime during the pandemic—and feels that animation is the best way to continue Baahubali's journey.
