Saif Ali Khan Opens Up About His Character Lankesh In Adipurush
Saif told Mumbai Mirror, "It's interesting to play a demon king, fewer strictures in that. But we will make him humane, up the entertainment quotient, justify his abduction of Sita and the war with Ram as revenge for what was done to his sister Surpanakha by Lakshman, who cut off her nose."

Earlier, Saif had expressed his excitement over playing the lead antagonist in Adipurush with an official statement that read, "I am thrilled to be working with Omi Dada again.

The way Tanhaji was shot has taken me to a different level from the cutting edge era of cinema, and this time it would be a new experience. This is an extraordinary project and I am thrilled to be a part of it! I look forward to fighting swords with the mighty Prabhas and playing the role of villain."
