Adipurush first-look poster: Prabhas transforms into Lord Ram, shoots for the sky in Om Raut’s epic visual spectacle
Prabhas has unveiled the first poster for director Om Raut's mythological epic Adipurush. A teaser will be released in Ayodhya on October 2.
Actor Prabhas shared the first poster of Adipurush, the upcoming mythological epic in which he will be playing Lord Rama. The first trailer of the film will be unveiled at an event in Ayodhya on October 2. Adipurush is directed by Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior filmmaker Om Raut, who once again used extensive visual effects to create the world of the film.
He is reuniting with his Tanhaji co-star Saif Ali Khan, who plays villain Lankesh in the film - although Saif said the character won't be strictly an antagonist. Kriti Sanon plays Sita while Sunny Singh plays Lakshman.
Sharing the poster on social media, Prabhas wrote, “Join us as we embark on a magical journey on the Sarayu River Bank in Ayodhya, UP. #AdipurushInAyodhya. Unveil the first poster and trailer of our film with us on October 2nd at 19:11!” The poster shows the actor in period clothing on one knee, aiming a bow and arrow at the sky.

The actor has come out of two flops - Saaho and Radhe Shyam - after touching unprecedented heights with two Baahubali films. Adipurush follows SS Rajamouli's RRR and Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra as the latest big-budget Indian film to draw on Hindu mythology and culture.
Saif reflected on the film's visuals in a 2021 interview with Bollywood Hungama. He said, “The fact is that you are doing really famous scenes that have been seen by millions and are even very famous in Indian literature. So I have to say that actually getting the opportunity to play those scenes is very surreal. We worked really hard on the look and the kind of visuals the director has come up with is unique. There are some scenes in the movie which we haven't seen on our screens before. It is simply an honor to be a part of such a great project. I think the audience will like the film.”
Adipurush will also be released in several South Indian languages – Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada. The film will also be released in 3D and IMAX. Adipurush will hit theaters on January 12.
