Om Raut also wondered what was wrong with using graphics. "Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayana made an impact on me and we created Adipurush to make an impact on future generations."
Om Raut said that he is taking note of the feedback coming his way. He added that Prabhas' Adipurush will live up to expectations when it eventually opens in theatres.
Filmmaker Om Raut is prepping hard for his much-ambitious project
Adipurush, which stars Prabhas and Saif Ali Khan in the lead roles. The mythological film is based on Ramayana, which stars Prabhas as Lord Rama and Saif as demon Ravana. The lead actress, who is supposed to step into the shoes of Goddess Sita, has not been decided yet.
In his recent tete-a-tete with a leading daily, Raut shared his story about turning into a filmmaker, and said that he is not an accidental filmmaker. I was not an ad filmmaker. I used to work for MTV in the US, in New York. Advertising was a part of the job. Once a story-teller, always a story-teller. In every form of story-telling, you are only trying to paint a picture the way it is in your mind. I feel a film like Tanhaji needed that canvas and scale, and so does Adipurush, said Raut.
