Adipurush teaser: Saif Ali Khan’s terrifying Lankesh and the worst VFX since 2010 must be defeated by Prabhas’ Lord Ram
Adipurush teaser: Prabhas is seen as Lord Ram, Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh and Kriti Sanon as Sita in Om Raut’s movie.
Adipurush by Om Raut has released its first teaser trailer, and things do not seem good. Prabhas plays Lord Ram in the movie, Saif Ali Khan plays Lankesh, and Kriti Sanon plays Sita. Although the film heavily utilises CGI and VFX, it is based on the Hindu mythical text Ramayana.
The teaser depicts Lord Ram submerged in meditation while devils swirl in from all sides. When we catch our first view of Saif’s Lankesh with ice-blue eyes praying at a mountain, he prepares his arrows to shoot a few of them. He is also shown bragging about his ten heads to a woman who is seated at his feet. On the other side, Lord Ram is joined by his own army, which includes Laxman and Hanuman with the vaanar sena. He rides a demon-dragon-creature into combat.
A brief sight of Lord Ram grinning at Kriti’s Sita as she swings in a meadow is shown. The fight between the demons and the vaanar sena in Lanka is depicted after that. And it all appears quite ugly. The CGI is a long cry from Prabhas’ own Baahubali trilogy and reminds one of pre-2010 Bollywood.
Om Raut’s next big project after his 2020 smash hit Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior is the drama Adipurush. Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar of T-series, along with Raut, Prasad Sutar, and Rajesh Nair of Retrophiles, are responsible for the film’s production. The IMAX and 3D debut of the film is set for January 12, 2023.
Prabhas had previously remarked in a statement regarding the movie, “Every role and every character comes with its own obstacles, but portraying a character like this comes with immense duty and pride. Thanks to Om’s fantastic design, I can’t wait to play this role in our epic. I have no doubt that our country’s youth will embrace our film with open arms.
Aside from SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali films, Prabhas has also appeared in Saaho and Radhe Shyam. Besides Salaar, he has a forthcoming feature starring Deepika Padukone. Previous to Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, Saif collaborated with Om Raut. Vikram Vedha, starring Hrithik Roshan, is his most recent film. In addition to Adipurush, Kriti Sanon also has Bhediya.
