Not
too
long
ago,
Om
Raut's
magnum
opus
Adipurush
was
announced
with
Prabhas
in
the
lead
role.
Recently,
the
inclusion
of
Bollywood
actor
Saif
Ali
Khan
as
the
antagonist
in
the
film,
also
became
the
talk
of
the
town.
With
several
speculations
doing
the
rounds
regarding
other
cast
and
crew
of
the
epic
drama,
the
recent
one
which
has
left
the
netizens
astonished
is
the
addition
of
Hollywood
VFX
experts.
If
reports
are
to
be
believed,
Avatar
and
Star
Wars'
experts
will
be
handling
the
visual
effects
of
the
movie
which
will
be
filmed
completely
in
green
mat
technology.
However,
there
is
no
official
confirmation
regarding
the
same.
On
a
related
note,
there
is
a
buzz
in
town
that
Anushka
Sharma
has
been
approached
by
the
makers
to
essay
the
role
of
Goddess
Sita
in
Adipurush.
Let
us
tell
you
that
the
Om
Raut-directorial
is
reportedly
the
screen
adaptation
of
the
Indian
epic
Ramayana
that
revolves
around
the
theme
of
the
victory
of
good
over
evil,
as
the
earlier
poster
and
its
theme
suggests.
Prabhas
will
essay
the
role
of
Adipurush
(Lord
Ram),
whereas
Saif
Ali
Khan
will
be
seen
in
a
never-seen-before
avatar
as
demon
Lankesh
(Ravan)
in
the
highly
anticipated
film.
Reports
suggest
that
the
makers
are
currently
gearing
up
to
unveil
the
actor
essaying
Hanuman's
role
in
the
film.
Adipurush
is
bankrolled
by
Bhushan
Kumar,
Krishan
Kumar,
Om
Raut,
Prasad
Sutar
and
Rajesh
Nair.
The
lavish
film
made
on
a
humongous
budget
of
Rs
400
crore,
will
be
shot
simultaneously
in
Telugu
and
Hindi.
The
film
will
also
have
a
mammoth
release
with
the
dubbed
versions
in
Tamil,
Malayalam,
Kannada
and
several
other
foreign
languages.
The
film
is

in
the
pre-production
stage
and
is
