While Netflix has not issued an official statement, industry experts believe the move is strategic. According to reports, Netflix removed the films to build anticipation for Baahubali: The Epic, releasing a decade after the original.
The upcoming film isn’t a mere re-release but a technically enhanced version, supervised by Rajamouli himself. Along with combining key scenes from both parts, new sequences have been added. The final cut reportedly has a runtime of approximately four hours, offering a grand theatrical experience for fans.
