Even as the Japanese version of 'Baahubali-2' is set to be released on December 29, the magnum opus's Russian version, too, is gearing up for a grand release. In all probability, it will hit the screens on January 11.

What explains the film's popularity across the globe is its universality. For example, this is what the testimonial of an international film festival recently said about the classic: "This movie is an epic drama depicting the Baahubali family`s glory and revenge surrounding the power of the ancient empire of India. It is also steeped in the unique flavor of Indian masala movies, with dancing and singing in places. The best parts of it are the special effects that recreate the splendid ancient culture of India and the grand scale of the battle scenes. In this exemplar of Indian cinema we can identify the present and the future of Indian blockbuster movies."

The Japanese version will be released by Twin Co, a leading distribution company. 'The Conclusion' will have a bigger release in Japan than 'The Beginning'.

The film was recently rated among the top in IMDb's Topo movies of 2017 list.
