Why Prabhas Is A Perfect Choice To Essay The Role Of Lord Rama?
Bollywood filmmaker Om Raut is gearing up for the screen adaptation of the epic Ramayana in his next, Adipurush, and says he chose superstar Prabhas for the role as the actor has the depth required to essay the character. This multilingual project was announced last week, with Om tweeting the first look of the movie. Adipurush is touted as a film celebrating “the victory of good over evil”.
Asked what made him select the Baahubali star for the role, Om said, “I think Prabhas is just perfect. His entire persona, the calmness that he has, his eyes are so deep, his stance, the way he carries himself, his entire personality. I could see Adipurush in him and if it wasn’t him, I wouldn’t have made the film.”
Though the Om said it is too early to talk about the aspects of Lord Ram’s life the film would touch upon as the team is working hard towards making the story come alive on the big screen.
The movie would be a follow-up to Om’s 2020 blockbuster Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, featuring Ajay Devgn, Saif Ali Khan, and Kajol.
Adipurush is scheduled to go on floors in January 2021 and will release theatrically in 2022. While there are reports that the maker is in talks with several other actors for the ensemble, including Keerthi Suresh and Saif.
