Check Out The First Poster For S.S. Rajamouli's BAAHUBALI: THE BEGINNING

We are huge fans of Telugu director S.S. Rajamouli round these parts, and after a recent visit to the production offices of his latest opus, Baahubali has fast become one of our most hotly anticipated films of the year. 

Due to be released in two parts, Baahubali: The Beginning will be hitting Indian cinema screens this July, simultaneously in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi, with the second half arriving sometime next year. An epic period drama, much of the details of the film are being kept under wraps, but Rajamouli gave fans a fantastic first look today by revealing the film's first teaser poster. 

"Every story has a single moment at its core which defines and drives the entire plot", said the director when revealing this iconic image. "What follows is the HEART of Baahubali."

Posters for the rest of the film's star studded cast, which includes Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty and Tamannaah, will be released in the coming weeks, and the film's first trailer is set to debut on 31 May.
