The motion poster of SS Rajamouli's "Baahubali 2: The Conclusion" made a thunderous debut on Saturday at the ongoing Jio MAMI 18th Mumbai Film Festival with Star.

The first look of the much-awaited film was unveiled in the presence of its team, including director Rajamouli, actor Prabhas and actresses Tamannaah Bhatia and Anushka Shetty.

Before releasing the motion poster, the director called it a birthday gift to Prabhas.

In the poster, with rain and thunder in the background, an intense-looking Prabhas is seen flaunting his abs, with a chain wrapped around one arm and a sword in the other. 

The "Baahubali" team also launched the teaser to a virtual reality spin-off film, set around the world of Baahubali and gave the audience a sneak peek into a game and a comic, based on the epic franchise.

The festival attendees got to try out the VR (virtual reality) gear and a chance to get transported to the "Baahubali" world.

The second and final part of the "Baahubali" franchise is scheduled to hit the screens on April 28, 2017. The film also stars Rana Dagubatti, Sathyaraj and Ramya Krishnan.

Meanwhile, a 360-degree making of the film was released at 11am on Sunday. The five-minute immersive virtual reality experience features Rajamouli, Anushka Shetty and Prabhas taking viewers on a tour of the sets of "Baahubali".
