A few days back we reported that hero Prabhas’ motion capture mythological drama, Adipurush based on the epic Ramayana will not be coming on the scheduled release date. The film is supposed to hit the screens during the Sankranthi season on January 12th in all South languages along with Hindi.
Though an official announcement regarding Adipurush’s postponement is yet to be out, buyers across twin states are already informed that the film will be postponed until early summer. Meanwhile, the latest we hear from our sources is that Adipurush is likely to skip the summer release as well. Reportedly, the makers are planning to re-do full VFX portions which will cost close to Rs 100 crore. Sources reveal that if everything goes smoothly, the film is likely to hit the screens in August.
Directed by Bollywood filmmaker Om Raut, Adipurush has Kriti Sanon, Sunny Singh, and Saif Ali Khan in goddess Sita, Laxmana, and Lankesh roles respectively. Adipurush even marks the Bollywood debut for Prabhas and is being bankrolled by Bhushan Kumar under his T-Series banner.
Apart from Adipurush, Prabhas has Salaar under the direction of Prashanth Neel and Nag Ashwin’s Project K at the shooting stage. The star hero even commenced the shooting for Tollywood director Maruthi’s film a few days back.
