To market it, distributor Global United Media decided to break another record: world’s biggest movie poster. > [](https://twitter.com/GWR/status/623829535671328769) According to [Guinness World Records](//www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/largest-poster), the poster has an area of 4,793.65 square meters, or 51,598.4 square feet. It trumpets the movie’s star, Telugu actor Prabhas, as well as the name of the director, acclaimed blockbuster-maker S. S. Rajamouli. The movie’s story, drawn from Indian mythology, is about two brothers warring for control of an ancient kingdom. It’s one of the most ambitious Indian productions ever, with a 380-day shooting schedule over three years and 2,000 stuntmen. It’s also arguably the most expensive Indian movie ever made; the movie and its sequel have a combined budget of $40 million. In addition to the opening weekend record in India, _Baahubali_ also broke the record for an Indian movie in the U.S., with 4.4 million. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3970104/worlds-biggest-movie-poster-baahubali/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3970104/worlds-biggest-movie-poster-baahubali/"},"headline":"This Is What the World's Biggest Movie Poster Looks Like","datePublished":"2015-07-23T18:48:47.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:22:29.053Z","description":"Baahubali: The Beginning is the biggest Indian movie of all time","url":"https://time.com/3970104/worlds-biggest-movie-poster-baahubali/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jacob Shamsian","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/jacob-shamsian/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3970104/worlds-biggest-movie-poster-baahubali/","name":"This Is What the World's Biggest Movie Poster Looks Like"}}]}] ```
