Hyderabad, October 16: The much-awaited single-part re-release of SS Rajamouli's magnum opus Baahubali duology has opened its advance booking in North America, two weeks before its premiere on October 29, and the response has been nothing short of phenomenal.

Fans of Prabhas and Indian cinema's most celebrated epic seem to be turning out in large numbers, reaffirming the film's enduring legacy even years after its original release. According to early reports, Baahubali - The Epic has sold over 5000 tickets worth $100K for the premiere, heading towards scoring record collection for a re-release by a long margin in North America.

The re-release is being positioned as a grand cinematic celebration of the film's 10th anniversary, allowing audiences to relive Rajamouli's larger-than-life vision on the big screen once again. Baahubali, which first hit screens in 2015 and was followed by Baahubali: The Conclusion in 2017, remains one of the biggest global blockbusters in Indian film history.

The two-part saga revolutionised Indian filmmaking standards, led Prabhas to pan-India superstardom, and set the template for modern storytelling. With the bookings off to a roaring start, the North American re-release is expected to set a new benchmark. This overwhelming response is a testament to Baahubali's timeless appeal and Rajamouli’s unmatched storytelling prowess.

Baahubali - The Epic is nearly 3 hours and 40 minutes long, making it the longest Indian film. The first half of the film features scenes from Baahubali: The Beginning, while the second half consists of Baahubali: The Conclusion, with reportedly some new footage. The movie is scheduled to release in multiple languages, in every major premium format.
