With her post, Kriti also shared a photograph in which she was seen posing with a smiling Prabhas and Pyaar Ka Punchnama fame Sunny Singh. According to a report on News18.com, Kriti is paired with Prabhas and essays the role of Sita while Sunny plays Lakshman. Prabhas will be playing a role inspired by Lord Ram in what is an adaptation of the Indian epic Ramayana. Saif Ali Khan, the other big name in the movie, will be seen in a completely new avatar, playing Raavan. Directed by Om Raut and produced by T-Series, the period drama went on floors in February and is said to be eyeing the August 2022 release. The movie celebrates “the victory of good over evil,” its tagline suggests. Raut’s last directorial venture_, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior_, had Ajay Devgn in the titular role, while Saif played the antagonist. Interestingly, in Om’s Adipurush, too, the Jawani Jaaneman actor is once again gearing up for a negative role. Earlier, speaking about Adipurush, Saif said he was thrilled to be working with Om again, adding the director had the grand vision and technical know-how to pull such a film off. “He has taken me beyond the cutting edge of our cinema in the way he shot Tanhaji and this time he is taking us all further. It’s a phenomenal project and I’m super thrilled to be a part of it,” Saif was quoted as saying by Bollywoodlife Saif added that he was excited about “demonic” his role and looked forward to clashing swords with the “mighty Prabhas”.
