Prabhas’ upcoming magnum opus “Adipurush” is one of the most anticipated Indian films of 2022. Directed by Om Raut, the periodic film has caught the attention of the entire nation since its inception.
In a recent interview, the director revealed interesting details about the movie. He said that Adipurush is set 7000 years ago and all the touchpoints are as in the Ramayana. However, it has been presented with modern storytelling techniques.
“In the movie, Prabhas’ character is not called Rama. He is Raghav, another name for Rama. Sita, played by Kriti Sanon, is called Janaki, while Saif Ali Khan’s Ravana is Lankesh, also derivatives of their “Ramayana” names. Adipurush literally means “first man,” but here the interpretation is that of best man,” Om Raut said.
Adipurush is made on a budget of Rs 400 crores. Shot in Hindi and Telugu languages, the movie will also be available in dubbed Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada-language versions.
