OMG! Adipurush becomes the costliest film of Prabhas till date, leaving Bahubali behind
Prabhas is one of the biggest superstars in the entertainment industry and while we thought the Bahubali franchise is the biggest film of his career we are wrong. According to the reports, the actor’s most awaited film Adipurush has turned out to be the costliest Prabhas film till date.
The epic, directed by Om Raut and based on the Ramayana, is being filmed on a massive budget of Rs 500 crore, notably, it is after excluding the money for print and publicity.
Confirming the same PinkVilla quoted Bhushan Kumar as saying, “Adipurush is made on a budget of Rs 500 crore. For that film, we know that the opening will be giant with houseful board across. So, we will try to optimise the demand for the film by going ahead with blockbuster pricing. We know people will come to see it irrespective of pricing as it is a one-off it’s kind event cinema and there is only limited capacity. So, we would make sure, to go all out with this film.”
Prabhas will play Lord Ram in the film, while Saif Ali Khan will play Ravaan, the ten-headed evil. Kriti Sanon, on the other side, plays Sita, while Sunny Singh plays Hanuman. The picture is scheduled to be released in January 2023, and the marketing is planned to begin in October.
“I have tried to understand Prabhu Ram to the best of my ability and I will keep on understanding for the rest of my life. To my knowledge, eyes are a reflection of heart and Prabhas is such a pure soul that his eyes are calm. With his eyes, I got closest to my imagination of Prabhu Ram. Every time I cut to him, his soul get’s reflected through his eyes, and that’s extremely pure,” Om was quoted as saying.
