'Adipurush's spectacular first look poster presents Prabhas as Lord Rama
After a long wait, the first look of Prabhas-Kriti Sanon starrer Adipurush is finally out! Its teaser will be launched in Ayodhya on October 2. The film was earlier slated to release on August 11, but was postponed to avoid a clash with Laal Singh Chaddha. The Om Raut directorial will now release on January 12, 2023, during the auspicious occasion of Makar Sankranti.
Why does this story matter?
Adipurush marks the first cinematic association between the two leading actors. Moreover, since films with a mythological/religious backdrop have mostly worked wonders amongst the masses, there are similar expectations from Adipurush as well. To recall, Raut's maiden Hindi directorial Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior had garnered immense critical and commercial acclaim, so it remains to be seen if Adipurush can replicate such success.
Spectacular first look further raised everyone's expectations!
The makers revealed Prabhas "in and as Adipurush" early morning on Friday (September 30). It shows the actor wielding a bow and arrow amidst the backdrop of a turbulent, catastrophic storm. The tagline reads, "Celebrating victory of good over evil." Praises are being heaped on the first look, and fans believe the wait was worth it. The film will release in IMAX and 3D.
