Meanwhile, T-Series has released a sneak peek of the on-the-ground event happening at PVR Juhu ahead of the main launch event of the Adipurush trailer in Mumbai.
The hashtag “Adipurush trailer” is currently trending at the top of Twitter before today’s Mumbai premiere of the Adipurush teaser.
The Adipurush team premiered the film’s trailer to a small group of admirers in Hyderabad on Monday, and the early feedback has been overwhelmingly favourable, with some who have seen it describing it as ‘pure goosebumps’. Unfortunately, the Adipurush trailer was leaked online shortly after the screening event.
Adipurush, a multilingual period story based on the Hindu epic Ramayana, is billed as a film celebrating “the triumph of good over evil.” Prabhas plays Raghav, Kriti Sanon plays Janaki, Sunny Singh plays Shesh, and Devdatta Nage plays Bajrang in Adipurush. The movie, which is directed by Om Raut, also features Saif Ali Khan as the antagonist Lankesh.

When the teaser for the magnum opus was released in October, it sparked outrage, including boycott demands, due to the representation of Hindu deities and the poor quality of visual effects. The filmmakers were also chastised for the apparent Islamization of Lankesh, as seen by Saif’s appearance as the demon king, who was seen wearing a beard and buzz cut.
The film was supposed to hit theatres on August 11, 2022, however the release date was moved back until January 12, 2023. Adipurush will now be released in 3D on June 16, 2023.
