Adipurush is an upcoming Indian movie directed by Om Raut. The trailer for the movie was released on Tuesday, and it looks much better than the earlier teaser. The teaser had many viewers questioning Saif Ali Khan's look as Lankesh, one of the main characters in the movie.
The new trailer for Adipurush is over three minutes long and shows the story of the Ramayana. The main cast includes Prabhas as Raghava and Kriti Sanon as Janaki. Sunny Singh plays the role of Lakshmana, and Saif Ali Khan plays Lankesh. The trailer starts with Lord Hanuman telling the tale of Raghava, who became a God after being born a human. It then shows several important events from the Ramayana impressively.
One standout moment in the trailer is when Saif Ali Khan's character Lankesh is shown in disguise as a sage. He is seen praying in front of a huge shivlingh and listening to a voice that says, "Brahmand mein tu jo bhi paane layak hai tu pa chuka hai, fir bhi tu rakshas hi hai. Lakshmi ko paale, Narayan ho jayega" ("You have already acquired everything worthy in the universe, but you are still called a devil. Acquire Lakshmi, and you will become Lord Vishnu").
Adipurush will be released in five different languages, including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. The trailer was released not just in India. It includes 70 other territories across the world, including Canada, Australia, the US, the UK, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Russia, and Egypt. The movie will also be screened at the Tribeca Festival in New York on June 13.
Prabhas, who plays the lead character Raghava in the movie, is excited about the premiere at Tribeca Festival. "I am honoured that Adipurush will have its World Premiere At The Tribeca Festival, New York. It's an absolute privilege to be a part of a project that mirrors the ethos of our nation. To see our Indian films, especially one that is so close to me, Adipurush, reach the global stage makes me extremely proud not only as an actor but as an Indian too. I look forward to seeing the audience response at Tribeca," he said.
