Starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan Adipurush is set to release worldwide on June 16 this year. But before that happens, the Om Raut-directed film will have its world premiere at the Tribeca Festival in New York on June 13.
Presented by OKX and founded by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff in 2001, Tribeca Festival brings together artists and diverse audiences to celebrate storytelling in all its forms. With strong roots in film, Tribeca is synonymous with creative expression and entertainment. Adipurush billed as a visual feast will be presented in 3D as a ‘Midnight Offer’ at the festival.
Sharing his reaction to the news, Om Raut said in a statement, “Adipurush it’s not a movie, it’s a feeling, a feeling! It is our vision of a story that resonates with the very spirit of India. When I found out Adipurush has been selected by the esteemed jury of one of the famous film festivals in the world which I always aspired to be as a student! This very premiere at the Tribeca Festival is really surreal for me as well as the whole team, as we get to present a story on a world stage that is so ingrained in our culture! We are really excited and excited to see the audience reaction to the world premiere.”
Based on the Indian epic Ramayana, Adipurush will see Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan in the roles of Lord Ram, Sita and Raavan. Sunny Singh will play the character of Lakshman while Devadatta Nage will play Lord Hanuman.
Bhushan Kumar, head honcho of T-Series, said, “It is indeed a proud moment for all of us to take Indian cinema global! The Tribeca Festival is one of the most recognized platforms in the world and for our film, which is not only a labor of love, but a depiction of Indian History – the screening here is humbling, exciting and overwhelming. Adipurush it will be a visual treat for all and I am sure it will have a mesmerizing effect on the global audience.”
Prabhas added, “I am honored by this Adipurush will make its world premiere at New York’s Tribeca Festival. It is an absolute privilege to be part of a project that reflects the ethos of our nation. To watch our Indian movies, especially one that is so close to me, Adipurush, reaching the global stage makes me extremely proud not only as an actor but also as an Indian. I look forward to seeing the audience response at Tribeca.”
