Saif Ali Khan unites with Prabhas for Adipurush

We all know that the south star Prabhas is all set to excite the audience with his next with director Om Raut, a 3D action drama titled Adipurush . But guess who will star as the villain of the film? None other than Saif Ali Khan.
The makers of Prabhas- starrer Adipurush released a new poster of the magnum opus, introducing the villain. Saif Ali Khan will be seen as Lankesh in the film.

Sharing the poster, the official handle of T Series wrote: “7000 years ago existed the world’s most intelligent demon! #Adipurush #Prabhas #SaifAliKhan @omraut @ItsBhushanKumar @vfxwaala @rajeshnair06 @retrophiles1 #TSeries.” The poster shows the English alphabet A in a huge font. Towards the top end of it, we can see a graphic showing the 10 heads of Saif as Lankesh.

The poster also declares that the film will take us back 7000 years in time to reveal the world’s most intelligent demon.

Kareena Kapoor had an interesting take on the poster and the choice of the actor. Sharing the poster, she wrote: “Presenting the most handsome devil in history… my man Saif Ali Khan.”

Interestingly, Saif played the antagonist in Raut’s last film as well. The actor portrayed the role of Udaybhan Singh Rathore, the menacing villain opposite Ajay Devgn’s Tanhaji Malusare in the director’s much-loved film titled Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior.

In mid August, the makers had announced a new project called Adipurush, starring Prabhas in title role.
An official release stated how after Tanhaji The Unsung Warrior, Saif would now be seen playing the biggest villain of all time in this film. Quoting Prabhas, the statement said: “I am excited about working with a talented actor like Saif Ali Khan. To be featuring alongside such a great actor on the big screen is a matter of pride for me.”

The project is expected to be an adaptation of the epic Ramayana.
