Adipurush will hit the theaters in June this year.

Adipurush stars Saif Ali Khan, Prabhas and Kriti Sanon in lead roles and is said to be based on the Hindu mythological epic Ramayana.

When the teaser of Om Raut’s Adipurush released in October last year, it was criticized for its VFX and visuals. The response was so intense that the makers decided to rework the graphics and push the release date from January to June. Months later, Kriti Sanon has now opened up about the backlash that the Adipurush teaser received. She said that the reactions to a teaser should not be used to doubt the entire film which was made with a pure heart and a grand vision.

During an interview with Indian Express, the actress was asked if the responses to the teaser disappointed her, to which she replied, “Obviously it was a bit because it was not expected. But I think the makers took it in spirit where I think any kind of feedback coming from people should be heard. You just listen and see how true it is and make those corrections if needed.”

The actress further added that the Adipurush team has taken the negative feedback very seriously. She said that the team’s intentions were very pure, and that they are very proud of the film. Despite the negative responses, she remains optimistic about Adipurush, saying she is familiar with the film’s content and how director Om Raut has brought it alive on screen.

“The response that came at that time was not expected. We didn’t expect this. Having said that, I still have a very positive feeling towards the film. Because I know what the content is, and I know how Om has created it. I know the scenes, the dialogues.

The film, which stars Saif Ali Khan, Prabhas and Kriti in lead roles, is said to be based on the Hindu mythological epic Ramayana. Saif’s character is based on Ravana from the epic, while Prabhas will play Raghav and Kriti will play Janaki, both based on Lord Ram and Sita respectively. The film will release on June 16, 2023.

Meanwhile, Kriti Sanon will soon be seen in Rohit Dhawan’s directorial Shehzada alongside Kartik Aaryan, Paresh Rawal, Sunny Hinduja, Manisha Koirala and Ali Asgar. The film is the official Hindi remake of Allu Arjun’s blockbuster Telugu dramedy Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo. The film is all set to hit the silver screens on February 17, 2023.
