Prabhas, Kriti Sanon's mega-budget Adipurush's release pushed for 'better visual experience'

NEW DELHI: Om Raut's upcoming directorial 'Adipurush' starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan is one of the most awaited films of Bollywood. Makers had released the film teaser only recently and was severely criticised by both audience and the critics for its poor VFX. The team had also drawn flak from the public for hurting religious sentiments with its alleged incorrect portrayal of several mythological characters. In the latest development, the makers have announced that 'Adipurush', which was initially scheduled for release in January 2023, has got a new release date. 

The film will now hit the screen on June 16, 2023.
