If you thought Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali: The Conclusion wrapped up the saga, you might want to fasten your armour-belt again. Because “The Eternal War” has begun. And this time, the battlefield isn’t just Mahishmati, it’s the entire cosmos.

Director S. S. Rajamouli has officially announced that the next chapter of the Baahubali universe will be a 3-D animated film with a massive budget of around ₹120 crore. The teaser for The Eternal War – Part 1 dropped in theatres alongside the re-release of Baahubali: The Epic and revealed a larger-than-life avatar of Prince Amarendra Baahubali.

The Story Goes Beyond Kingdoms

This isn’t your typical sequel. The Eternal War positions Amarendra Baahubali in a realm where inter-dimensional conflicts escalate, and ancient prophecy meets cinema. According to early reports, Baahubali will face cosmic stakes, not just human foes. It will be a war that transcends time and kingdoms.

The Visual Universe: Animation That Aims Global

This chapter stands out for its global-grade animation. Developed in collaboration with top international studios, The Eternal War pushes Indian storytelling into a new dimension. Fans who caught the teaser called the visuals “Hollywood-level,” which is a milestone moment for Indian animation.

With dazzling battlefields, divine landscapes, and a hero reborn through digital artistry, Rajamouli seems determined to prove that Baahubali’s legend can thrive far beyond live action. Fans compare its vibe to Arcane League of Legends after watching the teaser.

Why Bahubali: The Eternal War Matters?

For those who’ve lived in Mahishmati’s shadow for a decade, this film isn’t just nostalgia, it’s evolution. Rajamouli clarified that The Eternal War is not Baahubali 3, but a bold expansion of the universe that lays the groundwork for future stories and spin-offs.

If this works, it could redefine how Indian mythic cinema leverages animation and global storytelling by taking the Baahubali brand from blockbuster franchise to trans-media legend.
