AdiPurush: Prabhas to show Lord Ram's valor

Young Rebel Star Prabhas' mythological entertainer Adi Purush is capturing the imagination of all. The film happens to be Prabhas' first mythological entertainer and first straight Bollywood project. Om Raut of Tanhaji fame is directing the film. Expectations are increasing and Om Raut is exciting all by sharing the film's secrets and highlights.

He said Adi Purush will showcase the valor of Lord Ram. He added "Prabhu Ram and his incredible qualities have impacted many lives. I believe people of various age groups can be inspired by Lord Ram. He has several great qualities, but in Adipurush, I am showcasing his Parakrama (splendor and magnificence) because that’s what inspires me at this point in my life. Had I made this film a few years earlier, I would perhaps have explored another side of Lord Rama."

He showered praises on Prabhas saying "Prabhas is one of the nicest persons to work with. He is kind-hearted and also very logical. Apart from all his gestures like bringing us home-cooked lunch, the best aspect of him is that he always looks out for people on the sets irrespective of how big or small they are."

On him choosing Prabhas for the role of Lord Ram, he said "Every actor has a ‘to-do’ list when it comes to roles. Prabhas had one too and followed it although the list was long (smiles). I asked him to work on his body shape. Prabhas plays Lord Rama who is an archer, and archers have a different type of body shape, like a V – they are broad at the shoulder and narrow at the waist. So Prabhas worked on his body. Also, he took training in speaking pure Hindi. He worked on getting the diction right. Although Telugu is his mother tongue, he had to practice that too, because he had to speak shudh (pure) Hindi. And over and above all of this, he had to project calmness. Of course, Prabhas’ eyes are so beautiful that he could achieve that – he looks picture-perfect as Adipurush."
