Baahubali: The Eternal War, the ambitious new chapter in S. S. Rajamouli’s globally celebrated franchise, has reached a major milestone by securing a spot at the Annecy International Animation Festival 2026. The film has been officially selected for the Work in Progress showcase, a prestigious segment that highlights promising animated projects from across the world. Widely known as the “Cannes of animation,” Annecy’s recognition places the Baahubali universe firmly on the global animation map.
Following the monumental success of Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, the franchise continues to evolve in bold and imaginative ways. While Baahubali: The Epic revisited the original saga, this new film explores an entirely fresh storyline set in a mythological afterlife. Directed by Ishan Shukla, the narrative follows Amarendra Baahubali as he is drawn into a cosmic war between Devas and Asuras, spanning 14 mystical realms and blending Indian mythology with grand-scale fantasy.
The project gained further excitement with Prabhas and Ramya Krishna returning to voice their iconic roles, while Oscar-winning composer M. M. Keeravaani handles the music. Produced by Arka Media Works on a reported budget of ₹120 crore, the film boasts high-quality 3D animation designed to match international standards.
With global collaborations enhancing its scale and quality, and Part 1 slated for release in 2027, Baahubali: The Eternal War is poised to become a landmark project for Indian animation, carrying forward the legacy of one of India’s most iconic cinematic universes.
