Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India]Nov 7 (ANI): The makers of Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan starrer ‘Aadipurush’ announced a new release date on social media.

Om Raut announced the new release date on his Twitter.

Sharing the details, he wrote, ‘Jai Shri Ram… #AdiPurush will release in cinemas on June 16, 2023.

He also shared a picture which read, “Aadipurush is not a film but a representation of our devotion to Lord Shri Ram and commitment to our culture and history. To give a complete visual experience to the audience, we need to give more time to the teams working on the film. Aadipurush will now release on June 16, 2023. We are committed to making a film that India will be proud of. Your support, love and blessings is what drives us forward.”

The mega Indian film ‘Adipurush’ directed by Om Raut and produced by Retrophiles is a visual extravaganza which was scheduled to release on January 12, 2023. Now it will hit the theaters on June 16, 2023.

The film stars Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan in the lead roles. The film is based on the Indian epic Ramayana. Prabhas plays the role of Lord Ram while Saif plays the antagonist Lankesh in the film.

Since the release of the teaser of the film, it has been mired in controversies. The teaser gave a huge response to Saif’s fiery Raavan’s look, which is donned with a beard and a buzz cut. Many across the country slammed the makers for allegedly hurting their religious sentiments. In fact, the Akhil Bharatiya Sant Samiti, an organization of Hindu saints, has demanded the formation of the Sanatan Censor Board, alleging inappropriate depiction of Hindu gods and goddesses in Bollywood films.

Also, recently, a petition has been filed in a Delhi court seeking a stay on the film’s release. The petition alleges that Adipurush depicted Lord Rama and Hanuman in an inappropriate and wrong way as they wear leather straps. Advocate Raj Gaurav has filed a petition against producers Bhushan Kumar and Om Raut. (ANI)
