Gnanavel shared insights from conversations he had with filmmakers last week, revealing that while Baahubali 1 and Baahubali 2 were shot back-to-back, the team is now contemplating Baahubali 3 after a break.

He emphasized that filmmakers are no longer bound by rigid timelines to engage audience, indicating that a thoughtful approach could be more beneficial for sequels.

SS Rajamouli, the director of the Baahubali series, also expressed a desire to explore the franchise's universe beyond traditional films. He remarked on the need to adapt to various media forms, such as books, games, and anime, to reach a wider audience.

Rajamouli also acknowledged the ongoing discussions about the cliffhanger left by Baahubali: The Beginning and the perception that the story was effectively concluded in two parts, suggesting that a shift in mindset is necessary for future storytelling.

Rajamouli is set to direct Mahesh Babu in an action-adventure film, although pre-production has yet to begin.
