“Adipurush,” starring Prabhas (the “Baahubali” films), is one of the most anticipated Indian films of 2022. It is directed by Om Raut, who directed Ajay Devgn-starring ̶…
-starring “Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior,” the biggest Indian box office hit of 2020 with $50 million.
Raut, an engineering student at that time, was also fascinated by Japanese technology. “I said that if these foreigners can come and make our epic into such an interesting piece, what are we doing?,” said Raut. “We should do something like this and I need to tell the ‘Ramayana’ in my own way.” Next up was the story of another Indian hero, Tanaji Malusare, a general in the army of Chhatrapati Shivaji, who played a pivotal role in the Maratha kingdom’s battle against the Mughal empire in the 1600s. The spark for the film’s visual treatment came from Zack Snyder’s “300,” which Raut watched in New York during his MTV days and had a “huge impact” on him. Drafts of the screenplay were written before “Lokmanya” but the budget was astronomical for a debutant.
In the “Ramayana,” by Valmiki, Rama, the king of Ayodhya, travels to Lanka to rescue his wife Sita, who has been abducted by the king Ravana. “Adipurush” is set 7000 years ago and all the “touch points” are as in the Ramayana, but with modern storytelling techniques, says Raut. In the film, Prabhas’ character is not called Rama, he is Raghav, another name for Rama. Sita, played by Kriti Sanon, is called Janaki, while Saif Ali Khan’s Ravana is Lankesh, also derivatives of their “Ramayana” names.
