Earlier this morning, it was announced that Prabhas will be teaming up with Bollywood director Om Raut for a new pan Indian film. For the uninformed, Om Raut was the director of the recent blockbuster film, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, that starred Ajay Devgn in the lead role. Coming back to the Prabhas - Om Raut film, this film is titled Adipurush and it will be made as a bilingual in Hindi and Telugu. It will have a dubbed release in Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. This will be a mega biggie that will be shot on a grand scale on a huge budget.
The film’s shooting is expected to begin in 2021 and the release has been planned in 2022. Though the announcement about the antagonist is yet to be made, reports state that Bollywood star hero, Hrithik Roshan will be seen locking horns against Prabhas. Adipurush will be a historical film based on the ancient epic, Ramayana and Prabhas will be seen playing the role of Lord Rama. The expectations are already high for this project and the fans are eager to see a different side of Prabhas.
Having said that, the makers have now released the title announcement video which looks great and exciting. This new promo video has got a powerful background music, but we are yet to know who is the composer of this movie. The fans are quite excited after seeing this promo video and the entire social media is abuzz about it. Prabhas shared the promo video on his official Instagram page.
Talking about the film, Prabhas said, “Every role and every character comes with its own challenges, but portraying a character like this comes with tremendous responsibility and pride. I am very excited to portray this character of our Epic specially the way Om has designed it. I am sure the youth of our country will shower all their love on our film”. Adipurush will be produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar (T-Series) in association with Om Raut, Prasad Sutar and Rajesh Nair (Retrophiles).
Penguin fame Kharthik Palani has been signed as the cinematographer of Adipurush and this film is expected to give a major breakthrough for the young talent. The film’s tagline says, “Celebrating the victory of good over evil” and it looks like an exciting project is on cards.
