About Adipurush

Om Raut made this film with the dream of bringing the story of Ramayana to the silver screen but ever since the first teaser of 'Adipurush' dropped on Sunday, there has been a unanimously negative response from various quarters. People have largely been disappointed due to the film's poor VFX and the unrealistic look of various characters including Saif's Raavan. With a beard, fierce eyes and a buzz cut, Vikram Vedha actor's Lankesh seems barbarism personified and many called out the filmmakers for the apparent Islamisation of Ravana. The portrayal of Hanuman, with a beard, without a moustache and dressed in leather, also attracted criticism.

Meanwhile, the mega Indian film produced by T Series and Retrophiles, is a visual extravaganza slated to release on January 12, 2023, in IMAX and 3D. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Om, Prasad Sutar, and Rajesh Nair, the film will be released in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada.
