Om Raut's magnum opus, Adipurush, starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan, is officially postponed, citing VFX issues. Ever since the first teaser came out, people have taken the VFX work down with memes, comparisons with cartoons, and what not.
The decision to postpone the film for the rework in VFX finally came out today after seeing the negativity and trolling all around social media. Om Raut took to his social media handle and announced the new date of Adipurush - 16th June 2023.
"Adipurush is not a film, but a representation of our devotion to Prabhu Sri Ram and commitment towards our sanskriti and history. In order to give a complete visual experience to the viewers, we need to give more time to the teams working on the film. Adipurush will now release on June 16, 2023. We are committed to make a film that India is proud of. Your support, love and blessings is what keeps us going," he wrote.
