A few foreign writers are said to be in talks with the makers for the third instalment and KV Vijayendra Prasad, who wrote the first two parts, has been approached to see whether he has any interesting story.

Interestingly, SS Rajamouli, during the promotions of Baahubali 2, had stated that he had no plans to make Baahubali 3, but it might come up in the form of animation series, comic books, virtual reality shows etc.

Rajamouli has also said that he would be doing a film without time-consuming VFX.
