Taking to social media platform X, Rajamouli tweeted, “@Shobu_ garu is on a mission and he has the Baahubali calendar set for the next decade. The first chapter of that vision begins with BAAHUBALI: THE ETERNAL WAR!”
He further praised the teaser, describing it as “stunning, crafted with top-tier quality. And imagination that is worthy of Baahubali’s magnificence. Can’t wait to see Maahishmathi rise again through @Ishan_Shukla’s direction.”
The producers drew inspiration from the legend of Lord Shiva as Tripurantaka, who on Karthika Pournami destroyed the three flying cities of the Asuras with a single arrow. This sets the tone for the mythological warfare and divine conflict central to the animated duology.
Directed by Ishan Shukla with a budget of Rs 120 crore, Baahubali: The Eternal War – Part 1 is set to release in 2027. The strong response to the teaser has made it a major project for both the franchise and Indian animation, showing that Baahubali’s story will continue.
