S.S. Rajamouli’s film Baahubali: The Epic, released in theaters on October 31st, once again excited audiences. Starring big stars like Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, and Tamannaah Bhatia, the film is considered a comeback for Rajamouli. Audiences had high expectations for the film, and it earned a strong opening weekend. However, by Monday, the film’s earnings declined, a trend common even for big films these days. The film also features a new surprise at the end – a teaser for an animated film titled Baahubali: The Eternal War, reportedly with a budget of around Rs 120 crore.
