No reshoot for Adipurush
The producers keep to the re-scheduled release date in June 2023
WE ARE NOT RESHOOTING ANY PORTION BUT WE ARE MAKING CHANGES IN THE SEQUENCES TO WHICH OBJECTIONS HAVE BEEN RAISED. THIS WORK WILL BE COMPLETED WAY BEFORE JUNE AND WE WILL BE ABLE TO ARRIVE IN THE THEATRES AT THE PROMISED TIME.”
The Prabhas starrer Adipurush will be out in June, as only changes relating to the VFX are being made in the film. There was talk that some scenes may need to be re-shot to assuage ruffled feathers, but we now learn that all changes will be made on the edit table only, enabling the film to be released on June 16th, 2023, as per the new schedule. (The launch was originally scheduled for January 2023.) “The makers took stock of all the issues that came up after the teaser launch and realized that the work that needs to be done can be managed at the edit table itself after the VFX in the film is changed. The primary objections were regarding the VFX of the film and the trolling was only due to certain scenes that were made using VFX. Hence the makers decided that the work can be managed in the post production itself and there is no need for reshoots,” says a source connected to the film. Producer Bhushan Kumar had said at a media interaction, “We are not reshooting any portion but we are making changes in the sequences to which objections have been raised. This work will be completed way before June and we will be able to arrive in the theatres at the promised time.” Adipurush has Prabhas as Raghav, Kriti Sanon as Janaki and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh. The actors had earlier confirmed their availability for any reshooting, but that does not seem to be needed anymore. Several organisations and social media users had pointed out glaring irregularities in the VFX of the movie pertaining to Prabhas and Saif’s characters and it is these flaws that are being rectified now.
