The Baahubali franchise broke all Box-Office records with its release in India and overseas as fans went agog with the brilliant screenplay, visual effects and memorable performances by the actors. South Indian actor Prabhas, who played the titular role in both the films, was put on the map of the Indian film industry because of S.S. Rajamouli's magnum opus. To commemorate the occasion of Prabhas' 41st birthday on Friday, October 23, makers of the second installment of the franchise, Baahubali: The Conclusion, have decided to re-release the film in theaters across the USA.

Prabhas' biggest blockbuster Baahubali: The Conclusion not only stood out in the International film festivals but also remained the second highest-grossing Indian film worldwide. Baahubali 2 has a separate fanbase as it reveals why Kattappa killed Baahubali in the first part of the franchise. The rage among netizens around the original release of the film skyrocketed the anticipation of the unfolding of the plot which was left incomplete in the first film Baahubali: The Beginning.
