Baahubali 3 in the works? Prabhas, Rana Daggubati and Anushka Shetty fuel speculation

Baahubali is one of the most celebrated films of Indian cinema in recent times. Helmed by S.S. Rajamouli, the two-part epic action drama went on to become a box office success as well as a fan favourite. But fresh rumours have emerged now suggesting that makers are planning for Baahubali 3.

This update comes after a scene from the Netflix documentary Baahubali: The Torchbearer grabbed attention among the netizens. The four-part documentary revisits the making of the franchise, but one light-hearted exchange between the lead actors has taken over the internet.
