Sunny as Prabhas’ Laxman
Prabhas plays Raghav aka Lord Ram in Om Raut’s Adipurush which is loosely based on the Hindi mythological epic Ramayan. Kriti Sanon plays Janaki/Sita while Sunny is Laxman and Saif Ali Khan is Lankesh in the film.
Sunny told Indian Express in an interview, “Adipurush is also special to me because I started working with Prabhas, who is now like an elder brother to me. We hit it off from day one and he would always be there for me. So when we shot some scenes together, it was emotional because it felt like two brothers going through this for real.”
Sunny-Prabhas equation
Sunny added that the two actors would get emotional while delivering their lines during the shoot and there were also scenes that didn’t have dialogues but needed to get emotional. He added, “There were times when we had to do scenes without saying a single line, just looking at each other. We also had to imagine a lot because we shot on blue screen, so it was a constant challenge and a very different experience for all of us.”
Sunny also told the English daily that he had no idea about the cast or scale of the film when he was first offered it. All he knew was that it was Laxman’s role and that alone was huge enough for Sunny.
Adipurush release and box office
Adipurtush has released worldwide in more than 6000 screens and around 4000 screens out of them are in India. Trade experts have predicted a bumper opening ranging from ₹40 to 50 crore on the first day of the film’s release on June 16.
