Indian cinema was forever transformed by S.S. Rajamouli’s massively mounted period action films, Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali: The Conclusion (2017), which featured Prabhas as the courageous hero and Rana Daggubati as his powerful nemesis. Both films captivated audiences worldwide and shattered box office records. Recently, a re-edited, combined version of the two films, titled Baahubali: The Epic, hit theaters worldwide and has been garnering widespread attention.

Now, another project set in the same universe, an animated film titled Baahubali – The Eternal War Part 1, has been officially announced. Read on to discover its budget, intriguing Hollywood connections, and what fans can expect from this upcoming Baahubali venture.

Baahubali – The Eternal War Part 1 – Budget

In a recent interaction, filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli revealed that Baahubali: The Eternal War Part 1 was made on a budget of ₹120 crores, as per TOI. For comparison, Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) was made on a budget of around ₹180 crores (via India Today), while its blockbuster sequel, Baahubali: The Conclusion (2017), was mounted on an even grander scale at ₹250 crores (via HT).

Considering that The Eternal War is an animated film, a ₹120 crore budget is remarkably high by Indian standards. To put things into perspective, this year’s acclaimed Indian animated release, Mahavatar Narsimha, was produced on a comparatively modest budget of ₹40 crores.
