After vowing audiences with his stellar performance as Udaybhan Singh Rathod in director Om Raut’s ‘Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior’, Saif Ali Khan is once again set to be the face of ultimate evil in Raut’s next, ‘Adipurush’.
Also starring Telugu superstar Prabhas in the lead, Saif plays Lankesh, the world’s most intelligent demon to have existed over 7000 years ago.
The announcement was broken on Twitter by Raut on Thursday morning. Interestingly, ‘Adipurush’ will also mark the second collaboration between Khan, Raut and producer Bhushan Kumar.
Sharing his excitement on working with Saif, Prabhas shares, "I am super excited to work with Saif Ali Khan and I am eager to share screen space with a great actor."
Saif Ali Khan is excited about the project too and has said, "I’m thrilled to be working with Omi dada again! He has a grand vision and the technical knowledge to really pull it off. He has taken me beyond the cutting edge of our cinema in the way he shot Tanhaji and this time he is taking us all further! It’s a phenomenal project and I’m super thrilled to be a part of it! I look forward to clashing swords with the mighty Prabhas and to play a role that is electrifying and demonic!"
To be shot in Hindi and Telugu, the film will also be dubbed in Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada and will be a large-scale production mounted and shot in 3D.
‘Adipurush’ is scheduled to release in 2022.
