Baahubali, the Indian film that broke global box-office records two years ago, is now coming to a theater near you. Yet again.

This is the sequel, bigger and grander, and will see the widest ever release for an Indian film, when it hits 9,000 screens worldwide — 1,100 of them in the US itself — on April 28.

Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which comes after Baahubali: The Beginning, is the tale of two brothers fighting for the supremacy of a medieval kingdom. The epic fantasy is high on drama, costumes, and special effects.

Here's the trailer.

Of the 9,000 screens it hits, about 6,500 would be in India, according to reports.

That makes Baahubali a bigger release than all Bollywood films. The widest releases typically go to the Khans of Bollywood who capture 4,000-5,000 screens with every film.

Baahubali is also the most expensive ($40 million) Indian film production till date, but might lose that status to another 'epic' next year. It is also the highest-grossing Indian film (over $100 million) of all time, if we put together the collections of all its dubbed versions.

Unsurprisingly, there is massive buzz around the film.
