'Adipurush' is fronted by Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan, and Kriti Sanon. Ever since its announcement, it has been in the news since it's touted as a "retelling of Ramayana for today's generation."
Reason 1
The Om Raut film is mounted on aRs. 500cr budget, owing to its VFX/CGI cost. Ironically, this aspect was criticized the most in the teaser. Possibly, the makers need time to rework on this.
Reason 2
Another aspect that upset fans wasthe characters' looks, mainly Ali Khan, who is playing demon king Ravana. Netizens opined that he looked more like a "Mughal invader" and less like Lankesh.
Reason 3
On January 12, 2023, multiplemovies are releasing, like Vijay's 'Varisu,' Akhil Akkineni-Mammootty's 'Agent,' Chiranjeevi's 'Waltair Veerayya.' So, makers might have avoided a major clash.
