Following this update, even though many people started celebrating it, as Baahubali is one of the biggest blockbuster movies in Indian cinema, some people were disappointed with its runtime.
Some sources reported that it's going to be around 5 hours and 27 minutes, which is the actual combined runtime of both parts.
However, the Baahubali team officially clarified that they wouldn't take the whole day and that it would be around the same timing as an IPL match.

According to some social media speculations, the Baahubali team is planning to reduce the runtime of Baahubali: The Epic to around 3 to 3.5 hours.
Even though the Baahubali team clarified this, some netizens are sharing concerns that watching an IPL match is worthwhile even if it's too long, as the results aren't known until the end. However, since this is a re-release and most people have already watched it, it won't work if it has a runtime of almost 5 hours.
