idea to re-release the first part of ‘Baahubali’ on April 7, two weeks prior to the release of ‘Baahubali : The Conclusion,’ as part of promotional strategies.

The Hindi version of the film was released throughout India in more than 1,000 screens. But according to sources no one showed interest to watch the film in Hyderabad and even in Mumbai the response was not up to the mark.
