The actor is all set to reunite with the T-Series Bhushan Kumar and Director Om Raut for the second time with the film which is a period drama set 7,000 years ago. Saif’s character is said to be lethal and brutal in the film.

Actor Prabhas shared that Saif will step into the role of the devil Lankesh and wrote” 7000 years ago existed the world’s most intelligent demon! Adipurush” Kareena Kapoor khan also shared the same poster with the quote “Presenting the most handsome devil in history…. My man Saif Ali Khan”

Talking about the film, Saif Ali Khan said, “I am thrilled to be working with Omi dada again. He has a grand vision and the technical knowledge to pull it off. I’m thrilled to be a part of this project. I look forward to clashing swords with the mighty Prabhas and to play a role that is electrifying and demonic.”

On the other hand, producer Bhushan Kumar said, “ saif blew us all over with his portrayal of Udaybhan in ‘Tanhaji’..., and he takes it a notch higher with his role in’Adipurush’. He is the perfect choice in this battle between good and evil with Prabhas.”

Adipurush will be a Hindi-Telugu bilingual film, dubbed in Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada as well as in several other foreign languages.

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 not I could have not chosen him for this role and this film.”

Though the director said it is too early to talk about the aspects of Lord Ram’s life the film would touch upon, the whole team is working very hard towards making the story come alive on the big screen. “It is the story of Prabhu Ram. there is much preparation which is in process. Fortunately, the research is already done, from a historical point of view, the notes are already done.”
