Another film that has been creating a lot of buzz since its announcement in 2020 is the upcoming Indian epic action-drama — Adipurush. Directed by Om Raut, known for his work on the period action film Tanhaji, Adipurush is an adaptation of the Hindu epic Ramayana and promises to be a riveting experience for audiences. Made on a whopping budget of apparently Rs 500 crore, the film stars Baahubali actor Prabhas in the lead role and versatile actor Saif Ali Khan in the role of the antagonist. The two powerful actors are expected to bring their A-game to the table and deliver a memorable clash on-screen. The film also stars the very talented Kriti Sanon. Talking about his ambitious project, Om Raut said in an interview, “Adipurush is set 7000 years ago, and all the touch points are as in the Ramayana, but with modern storytelling techniques.” With an epic story, a talented cast, and an able director at the helm, Adipurush promises to be a cinematic experience that fans of the Ramayana will not want to miss.

The makers promise that it is a story that will resonate with every Indian. What makes the film even more promising is its cast. It stars versatile actor Ajay Devgn and National award-winning actress Priyamani in lead roles. Ajay Devgn said about the film, “It is a fabulous story, director Amit Ravindernath has done a great job.

SATYAPREM KI KATHA

Most Kartik Aaryan movies are sprinkled with a fair dose of entertainment, and the young actor’s upcoming film Satyaprem Ki Katha seems to be no different. Directed by Sameer Vidwans, whose Marathi film Anandi Gopal won a National Film Award, the musical drama is a collaboration between Sajid Nadiadwala and Namah Pictures, and has been the talk of the town since it was announced. The movie is a musical love story that will see Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani on screen together for the second time after their successful pairing in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. Their chemistry and performance in the previous film made them a popular on-screen couple and fans are now eagerly waiting for their reunion in Satyaprem Ki Katha. While the makers are keeping mum about the project, it is believed that Satyaprem Ki Katha is a compelling and emotionally charged love story that will captivate audience. Kartik said in a statement, "I have been wanting to work with Sajid sir for some time now, I couldn't have asked for a better collaboration. Satyaprem Ki Katha is a musical love saga which brings together a powerhouse of people who are National Award-winning names.” Well, this already looks like a winner.
