EXCLUSIVE: Saif Ali Khan to start shooting for Adipurush from mid-March; Read Deets

Last year, Prabhas announced his next magnum opus, the Om Raut directed Adipurush. Soon after he revealed that Saif Ali Khan is also a part of the project, and reportedly plays the role of Ravana or Lankesh in the film. Later in November 2020, the Baahubali actor unveiled the film’s release date to be August 11, 2022, and started shooting for the film last month. Now, Pinkvilla has a new interesting update on this upcoming movie. A source close to the development informs that Saif will start filming from mid-March.

“While Prabhas is already shooting for the film, Saif will join him from mid this month. However, he will initially begin with his solo portions and will eventually start shooting with Prabas. Saif will be shooting in a green screen setup, while the film’s leading lady is also expected to join them in April,” informs a source in the know. Om had started shooting for the film in early February, however they had to stop the shoot for a while after fire broke out on the sets.

Meanwhile, both Saif and Prabhas have an interesting lineup of films ahead. Saif has Pavan Kripalani’s Bhoot Police and Varun Sharma’s Bunty Aur Babli 2 in the pipeline. Prabhas will next be seen in filmmaker KK Radhakrishna Kumar’s Radhe Shyam and Prashanth Neel’s Salaar.
