Twitter reacts
Netizens alleged makers tried to hide Khan's Raavan look
The two-minute-long trailer begins with Lankesh (Khan) in the disguise of a sadhu when he comes to abduct Janaki (Kriti Sanon). There are no other glimpses of Khan's character, as they have successfully managed to keep it under wraps.
Commenting on this, a user wrote: "While watching #AdipurushTrailer2, it's evident that (they have) tried best to hide (the) Raavan look of #SaifAliKhan."

More than CGI, hope they did not screw the characters and how they portray in this movie.
Especially Ram and Ravanan character. Big question is why are they hiding #SaifAliKhan
Khan skipped promotions
Why is Khan missing from the promotions?
Team Adiurush is going all in with pre-release events. The second trailer was released at a grand event with Prabhas and Sanon in attendance. However, Khan skipped it.
But why? Apparently, the team is trying to downplay Khan's character to avoid controversies, since Ravan's look had received a lionshare of the flak.
Further, promotions are mostly being planned around Prabhas since he plays Ram.
