Ever
since
filmmaker
Om
Raut
announced
Adipurush
featuring
Prabhas
and
Saif
Ali
Khan
in
the
lead
roles,
netizens
can't
wait
for
the
film
to
go
on
floors.
While
the
leading
lady
of
the
film,
who
will
play
the
role
of
Sita,
has
not
been
decided
yet,
rumours
have
been
rife
that
Ajay
Devgn
is
expected
to
be
a
part
of
the
film.
However,
a
source
close
to
the
project
has
quashed
the
rumours
and
denied
the
reports
of
Ajay
being
a
part
of
Adipurush.
Bollywood
Hungama
quoted
a
source
as
saying,
"After
Saif's
name
was
announced,
many
thought
that
Om
Raut
will
reunite
with
his
Tanhaji:
The
Unsung
Warrior
lead
actor
Ajay
Devgn
as
well
in
Adipurush.
However,
there's
no
truth
to
these
reports.
Ajay
is
not
a
part
of
Adipurush."
The
source
further
added,
"He
already
has
too
many
films
on
his
plate.
He
has
10
days
work
left
on
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
Gangubai
Kathiawadi
(co-starring
Alia
Bhatt).
He
has
to
complete
the
remaining
shoot
of
Bhuj:
The
Pride
Of
India
so
that
it's
ready
for
release
on
Disney+
Hotstar.
And
then
he
has
to
film
for
a
major
schedule
of
Maidaan.
Not
to
forget,
he
also
needs
to
focus
on
the
films
produced
under
his
banner."
Meanwhile,
Om
Raut
and
producer
Bhushan
Kumar
are
planning
to
mount
the
film
on
a
lavish
scale.
Reportedly,
a
whopping
budget
of
Rs
350-400
crore
is
set
just
for
the
shoot
and
production
of
Adipurush.
Recently,
while
speaking
about
directing
Adipurush
to
an
entertainment
portal,
Raut
said
that
he
had
done
a
research
on
the
project
in
the
past,
and
he
will
make
sure
to
make
Adipurush
a
visual
spectacle.
