We had informed our readers a few weeks ago that Baahubali star Prabhas and Saif Ali Khan are playing the lead roles in Om Raut's epic drama Adipurush and now, the makers have announced the release date.
The film is all set to hit the big screens during the Independence Day weekend in 2022. Om Raut announced today that the film will be releasing on August 11, 2022. The multilingual period saga is an onscreen adaptation of the Indian epic Ramayana and features Prabhas as Lord Ram and Saif Ali Khan is playing the antagonist Lankesh.
Talking about Adipurush, Prabhas had earlier said "Every role and every character come’s 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."
Raut's opus is a 3D feature film, which is being bankrolled by Bhushan Kumar. Adipurush will be Prabhas' third film with Bhushan Kumar after Saaho and Radhe Shyam. This is Saif's second film with Raut after Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior. The film is expected to go on floors in 2021.
