Netizens are divided over the first look of Om Raut’s much-awaited ‘Adipurush’. The teaser of the Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan, and Kriti Sanon-starrer ‘Adipurush’ was released on Sunday evening. While some lauded actors Prabhas and Saif Ali Khan as Lord Rama and Raavan, many were disappointed with the CGI and VFX of the film. Some netizens also pointed out that some scenes from the teaser reminded them of Hollywood films and series like Marvel’s Avenger series and ‘Game of Thrones’.
Prabhas is acting as Raghava in the film ‘Adipurush’, while Saif Ali Khan is Lankesh. Kriti Sanon plays the role of Sita as Janaki, while Sunny Singh appears as Lakshmana. The producers unveiled the film’s teaser on the banks of the Sarayu river in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. The movie will be released in the theatres on January 12, 2023, in IMAX and 3D.
