Title: Remastering a Modern Epic: Technical and Aesthetic Challenges in Producing a 4K Fan Edit of the Baahubali Dilogy Abstract: The Baahubali films, originally mastered in 2K Digital Intermediate (DI) from ARRIRAW 3.4K footage, present a unique case for 4K upscaling. Unlike Hollywood productions shot on 35mm film or 6K+ digital, Baahubali relies heavily on VFX composites rendered at 2K, CGI character animation, and stylized color grading. This paper details a methodology for producing a high-fidelity 4K edit using AI upscaling, manual VFX reconstruction, and HDR regrading, while respecting the film’s original visual language. 1.
