The anticipation for filmmaker Om Raut’s grand epic, Adipurush, reaches new heights as the final trailer was unveiled on Tuesday, 6th June. Starring Kriti Sanon, Prabhas, and Saif Ali Khan, the trailer showcases a visually stunning and captivating glimpse into the highly-awaited film. With its release in 3D format scheduled for June 16, the movie promises to transport audiences into the world of the Ramayana like never before.
Compared to the previously released teaser, which faced criticism for its VFX and animation, the new trailer impresses on multiple levels. The over two-minute-long video establishes the storyline of the Ramayana, with Kriti Sanon portraying Janaki and Saif Ali Khan essaying the role of Lankesh. Prabhas shines as Raghava, showcasing his prowess on the battlefield. While the visuals in the first half of the trailer are remarkable, there is a slight dip in the quality of visual effects towards the end.
Adipurush is set to release in five different languages across India, including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. While the nationwide theatrical release is scheduled for June 16, the film will have its world premiere on June 13 at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival in New York, adding to the excitement and international recognition it has garnered.
Prior to the trailer release, Prabhas paid a visit to the Sri Venkateswara Swami Temple at Tirumala in Tirupati, offering his prayers. Speaking about his role in the film, Prabhas expressed his gratitude for portraying the character of Lord Ram in Adipurush. He thanked director Om Raut for the opportunity and emphasized the love and respect with which the film has been made.
Director Om Raut, renowned for his National Award-winning film Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, dedicated Adipurush to the Ramleela artists who have brought the epic tale to life in various forms across the country for many years. He acknowledged the timeless nature of the Ramayana, likening it to a bus that people continue to board and contribute to in their own ways. Raut expressed his belief that the journey of Ramleela will continue, evolving and captivating audiences for generations to come.
As the release date approaches, fans eagerly await the arrival of Adipurush, ready to immerse themselves in the grandeur, spectacle, and rich storytelling that the film promises. With its talented cast, breathtaking visuals, and the visionary direction of Om Raut, Adipurush is poised to leave an indelible mark on the world of cinema and reaffirm the enduring power of ancient Indian epics.
