Adipurush teaser: Prabhas’ Lord Ram must battle Saif Ali Khan’s fearsome Lankesh and worst VFX seen since 2010

The first teaser-trailer for Om Raut’s Adipurush is out and things are not looking good. The film stars Prabhas as Lord Ram, Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh and Kriti Sanon as Sita. The film is based on Hindu mythological text Ramayana but with a heavy use of CGI and VFX.

The teaser shows Lord Ram in deep meditation underwater as demons from all directions come swirling in. He aims his arrows to take a few out when we get the first glimpse at Saif’s Lankesh with ice-blue eyes, praying at a mountain. We also see him showing off his 10 heads to a woman sitting at his feet. He rides a demon-dragon-creature into battle and on the other side, Lord Ram is joined by his own army that includes Laxman and Hanuman with the vaanar sena.
