Director Om Raut’s magnum opus Adipurush is all set to hit theaters on June 16 in 3D. Ahead of its release, the makers unveiled the final trailer on Tuesday. The new trailer is overall impressive, compared to the teaser video which was previously dismissed by viewers for poor VFX and animation. The film stars Prabhas as Raghava, Kriti Sanon as Janaki, Sunny Singh as Lakshmana and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh.Read also: Prabhas offers prayers at the Tirupati Balaji temple before the Adipurush event
Adipurush New Trailer
The over 2-minute long trailer establishes the story of Ramayana starting with Sita Haran with Kriti as Janaki and Saif as Lankesh. Prabhas shines as Raghava on the battlefield. While the first half of the final video features nice visuals, compared to previous trailers and teasers, the quality of the visual effects deteriorates a bit towards the end of the trailer.
Adipurush will release in 5 different languages in India including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. While it will hit theaters on June 16, the film will premiere on June 13 at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival in New York.

Earlier in the day, actor Prabhas offered prayers at the Sri Venkateswara Swami Temple at Tirumala in Tirupati, hours before the trailer was released. Talking about working in the film, Prabhas at the press event had earlier said that he felt grateful for essaying the role of Lord Ram in Adipurush.
As reported by news agency PTI, Prabhas said, “I should thank Om for giving me this opportunity. We have made this film with a lot of love and respect. I hope you all like it.”
Om Raut in Adipurush
Director Om Raut, who is known for his National Award-winning Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, had dedicated the film to the Ramleela artists to bring the epic tale to life in various forms across the country for many years. “I want to dedicate the film to every artist who was a part of Ramleela. I feel the story of ‘Ramayan’ has always been there for years and it’s like a bus. We boarded this bus and will continue for a few years. Then someone will get off another will board the bus. But the journey of Ramleela will continue. We will continue to see Ramleela in different ways as long as India exists,” he had said at a press event.
