Director Om Raut shares the struggle faced while shooting Adipurush; a 7000 year old history

Prabhas starrer 'Adipurush' was recently shot in a studio inMumbai. Producers were not in a mood to stop shooting, but the second wave ofCorona ruined their plans.

In a recent conversation with Dainik Bhaskar director, Om Raut sharedspecial facts about the film. He said, “We are shooting this film with 3Dtechnology. We used this type of technique in 'Tanhaji' also. In 'Adipurush',we are working a lot more than that. We have to show the seven thousand yearsold earth. If this is the demand of the subject, then our work will also be sohigh. Ravana is possibly the most difficult character in the world. For this, Ichose Saif because he performs every character with full passion”.

The research of the film has taken almost 19 years. It is verytough to show such a huge set up in a studio location as well. It definitely needs proper planning. To this Raut adds, “We are going according to our planning.We were going to shoot this film in the studio from day one. We cannot changeour planning and approach with any change. However, due to corona, it has alsobecome difficult to shoot in the studio”.
