Prabhas is working on the biggest mythological film Adipurush which is based on Ramayana. The pan-Indian film sees Prabhas as Lord Rama, while Kriti Sanon essays Sita and has Said Ali Khan in the antagonist role.
Adipurush shoot has been completed 20 percent so far and the shoot which was happening in Mumbai has come to a standstill after Maharashtra government became the epicenter for COVID. With surge in COVID cases, the shoot of all films has been stopped. Now, the team has moved to Hyderabad and the sets are underway.
With this the budget of Adipurush has spiked to unimaginable cost. A source says that Prabhas was not keen to shoot in Mumbai from the beginning but Raut wanted to shoot in Mumbai as only Prabhas had to move in to the city. But the COVID took a toll and things went upside down. Had Adipurush director listened to Prabhas cost would have not been escalated.
