Prabhas opens up about playing Lord Ram in Adipurush

Om Raut’s Adipurush released last week; the film has been getting a mixed response from the audience. It was highly anticipated since it was revealed that Prabhas will portray the role of Raghav (Lord Ram).

The actor was asked if any apprehensions before giving his nod to playing this part, Prabhas says, “There were apprehensions, but no reservations. Portraying such a revered figure comes with a great responsibility, considering the emotional and spiritual attachment people have towards Prabhu Shri Ram.”

In an interview earlier, Prabhas said, “This film revolves around the epic tale of Ramayana, which is deeply rooted in Indian culture and religion. Hence, my approach was to portray this part with utmost authenticity and respect, as we’ve had all grown up listening to this story, and there are numerous emotional and spiritual aspects attached to it.”

In the film, he is seen alongside Kriti Sanon, who plays the character of Sita, talking about her, he said, “Cinema has a universal language, and so does the content,” he continues, “That’s why, today, different industries and working styles don’t matter. Both of us belong to Indian cinema, and art is the common thread that connects us. The synergy comes in organically with great content and craft. Kriti is a very balanced and professional actor. We shared a great rapport.”

Prabhas is all praise for director Om Raut and said, “unwavering support and guidance” made him confident about the job. “I’m immensely grateful to the makers for having faith in me and believing that I could bring this celebrated character to life. A lot of preparation and hard work, not just of mine, but the entire team, went behind playing this role. Also, Om’s clear vision would feed our imagination so well.”
