Baahubali: The Eternal War Teaser Out Now – A New Era Begins!
S. S. Rajamouli’s Baahubali created a whole new cinematic universe that redefined Indian cinema in terms of epic storytelling. After the roaring success of the re-edited version of Baahubali: The Epic, the franchise has now launched an all-new, celestial era with the release of the teaser for “Baahubali: The Eternal War Part 1.” This only proves one thing: the legacy of Mahishmathi is far from over; it has only taken to the skies-and the animation style is simply breathtaking.
A New Dimension for a Legendary Saga
The most striking element of the teaser is the change in medium. Baahubali: The Eternal War is not a live-action sequel or prequel; it is a stylized 3D animated epic, set to be a two-part saga. The creators have boldly chosen animation to explore the continuing journey of a character whose story we thought had concluded.
This teaser addresses the iconic cliffhanger: the death of Amarendra Baahubali. As his spirit departs from the mortal coil, the live-action seamlessly turns into stunning animation. The voice of Sivagami (Ramya Krishna) booms, ensuring that the theme of the film would be: “Amarendra Baahubali’s death wasn’t his end. It was the beginning of something eternal.”
This turns into the mythological tangent sets the stage for a story unrestrained by the narrative confines of the original films.
Gods, Asuras, and the Afterlife
Where do you take a character after he has completed his destiny on Earth? To the cosmic battlefield, of course. The Eternal War appears to plunge Baahubali into the eternal conflict between the Devas, or Gods, and the Asuras, or Demons, across 14 realms.
The teaser has all the elements of a dynamic clash between Indra, the King of the Devas, and the formidable Vihasura. In a bold, visually stunning plot twist, Baahubali seems all set to plunge into the tussle between the divine powers. Skimming through Indian mythology, this could mean that the movie will also delve deep into Dharma and Karma on a grand, cosmic scale. The visuals are being instantly compared to international benchmarks such as Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Arcane, suggesting a pedigree of animation seldom seen in Indian cinema.

Returning Legends, New Creative Forces
One of the biggest draws is the confirmed return of the franchise veterans for voiceovers. While Prabhas will return to give his powerful voice to Amarendra Baahubali once again, Ramya Krishna is back with her commanding voice as Sivagami. The fans are already hoping that Sharad Kelkar’s iconic Hindi voice would also be back on Baahubali’s Hindi version.
The creative leadership has also switched, bringing new vigor into the universe:
- Director: The man bringing this animated vision to life is Ishan Shukla, known for Star Wars: Visions and The Bandits of Golak.
- Presented by: S. S. Rajamouli, who praised Shukla’s concept as a “seamless, organic extension” of the world.
- Budget: Announced to be a whopping ₹120 Crore, making it one of the most expensive Indian animated features of all time.
This new team uses the freedom of animation to deliver the bombast the live-action films were known for, only this time with limitless visual potential.

The Road Ahead
While the franchise is definitely cashing in on the massive success of the Baahubali brand, this animated pivot feels like an earnest creative expansion rather than a simple cash grab. The teaser did capture the grandeur, the mythology, and the scale the audience was craving.
The first part, titled Baahubali: The Eternal War Part 1, is scheduled to hit theaters worldwide in 2027. Now, considering the scale and animation format, that timeline does suggest a genuine focus on quality. Indeed, the Mahishmathi era is eternal, and the expectation for this cosmic clash has already reached a fever pitch.
The Baahubali universe is expanding in the most spectacular way possible. I can even search for more details on an animation visual style or some plot theories regarding the Deva/Asura conflict, if you want.
