More than a decade after redefining Indian cinema, Baahubali continues to inspire audiences across the globe. Netflix’s four-part documentary Baahubali: The Torchbearer takes fans behind the scenes of the epic franchise, chronicling its creative journey, cultural impact and the extraordinary efforts of director S.S. Rajamouli and his cast in bringing the world of Mahishmati to life.
The documentary features heartfelt conversations with Prabhas, S.S. Rajamouli, Rana Daggubati and Anushka Shetty, who revisit unforgettable memories from the films. Prabhas reflects on how Baahubali transformed his career, while Rajamouli opens up about the immense challenges of mounting a project of such scale and the unwavering belief that helped make it a landmark success.
Rana shares his experience of portraying the iconic Bhallaladeva, and Anushka recalls the emotional and physical commitment required to bring Devasena to life, making the documentary a nostalgic celebration for fans. One of the biggest highlights arrives in the final episode, where the cast appears to tease the possibility of Baahubali 3.
Rana jokingly says the world may not be ready for what’s next before stopping himself, prompting Prabhas to flash three fingers with a smile as Anushka laughs. The segment ends with the words, “And the legacy continues,” sending fans into a frenzy and sparking widespread speculation about a third installment.
While the playful exchange has reignited excitement, neither Rajamouli nor the makers have officially announced Baahubali 3. For now, everyone is eager to experience Baahubali The Eternal War.
