Baahubali: The Epic OTT: When Baahubali: The Epic first landed in theatres, Telugu audiences really backed it up, that kind of split-story format where two Baahubali films feel like one long cinematic ride. Naturally, fans also thought the same energy would follow when it finally hit OTT.
But then, when Baahubali: The Epic premiered on Netflix, people opened it up and somehow the Telugu version was missing , like it just wasn’t there. At first, most viewers figured it would get added “soon” or maybe later on, however almost eight months have gone by, and there’s still no real update.

The whole thing got more baffling when the film released in Japan and later got a Blu-ray edition. Some reports say the Japanese Blu-ray actually includes a Telugu audio track. Which leads to that big, obvious question – if the Telugu version exists, why is it still unavailable on OTT, in its own home market?
For a lot of fans, importing a Japanese Blu-ray is neither convenient, nor really affordable. And because there’s no official Telugu release, reportedly some viewers have even started making and sharing unofficial synced versions online.
What’s really been grinding fans down is the silence. The makers haven’t given a clear explanation, like is it rights related, is it platform agreements, or something else entirely.
Now as the franchise keeps moving with the upcoming animated feature Baahubali: The Eternal War , many fans feel these unanswered parts around Baahubali: The Epic should also be addressed. After all, Telugu audiences were among the biggest reasons Baahubali grew from a regional blockbuster into a worldwide phenomenon.
