Now, 10 years after the first film, both films are returning to the big screen in a single epic cut. ## Earlier this year, the makers announced the re-release of Baahubali, and now, sharing more details, it has been confirmed that both Baahubali - The Beginning and Baahubali - The Conclusion will be re-released as one film, titled Baahubali - The Epic, worldwide on October 31st this year in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam. ## This is probably the first time that both parts of a movie are getting re-released as a single cut, and the fans are excited to see how it works out.

Box Office: 'Maharaja' Beats 'Baahubali 2' To Become Highest Grossing South Indian Movie In China

Chennai, December 20 - Vijay Sethupathi's action thriller Maharaja has become the highest-grossing South Indian film and the 10th biggest Indian grosser at the Chinese box office. The film has exceeded expectations in the Mainland and is crawling towards the 100 crore mark. ## Directed by Nithilan Swaminathan, Maharaja has grossed approximately 85.75 crores ($10.12 million) through the third Thursday (21 days) in China, outgrossing the lifetime total of SS Rajamouli's Baahubali 2 (80.50 crores gross) to become the biggest South Indian grosser there. ## The film's pace at the box office has slowed, so it needs to be seen if it goes on to touch the 100 crore mark in China. If it gets there, it will become the 9th biggest Indian grosser by outgrossing Toilet Ek Prem Katha (100+ crores gross). Aamir Khan's Dangal sits on the top with a mammoth 1300+ crores gross, a record which might never be broken. ## Meanwhile, Maharaja is nearing 200 crores gross mark at the worldwide box office. Currently, it stands at around 193+ crores gross, and most likely, China run will take it past the double century and make it the 4th Tamil movie of 2024 to achieve the feat. ## Stay tuned...
