The documentary Baahubali: The Torchbearer, which recently premiered on Netflix, revisits the journey of one of Indian cinema's most iconic franchises. It features appearances by Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah Bhatia, Ramya Krishnan and other cast and crew members who were part of Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion.

Spread across four episodes, the documentary takes viewers behind the scenes of the Baahubali films, showcasing the massive production challenges, financial hurdles and creative risks that shaped the epic saga directed by S. S. Rajamouli.

The series also includes moments that appear to hint at a possible continuation of the franchise. In one segment, Rana Daggubati says, "I don't know if I should say this publicly, but since Rajamouli and Shobu garu (the producer) aren't here, I'll just say what's on my mind. The world may not be ready yet, but there will be more Baahubali!"

His remark is met with laughter from Prabhas, Anushka Shetty and others seated alongside him. Adding to the speculation, Prabhas is seen smiling and holding up three fingers, a gesture that has sparked excitement among fans over the possibility of Baahubali 3. The final episode ends with the message, "And the legacy continues," further fueling discussions about a new chapter in the franchise.

However, the makers have not officially confirmed Baahubali 3 or announced any future project.

Baahubali: The Beginning was released in 2015, followed by Baahubali 2: The Conclusion in 2017. In 2025, a combined recut version of both films, titled Baahubali: The Epic, was released theatrically worldwide on October 31.
