Actor Saif Ali Khan is all set to play the role of ‘Lankesh’ aka Ravana from the Hindu text Ramayana in director Om Raut’s next film titled Adipurush. The makers of Prabhas-starrer Adipurush released a new poster of the movie, introducing Saif Ali Khan as the villain Prabhas will be seen playing the main character – the role of Lord Rama, one of the most worshipped gods by Hindus.
Sharing the poster, the official handle of T Series captioned: “7000 years ago existed the world’s most intelligent demon! #Adipurush #Prabhas #SaifAliKhan @omraut @ItsBhushanKumar @vfxwaala @rajeshnair06 @retrophiles1 #TSeries.” The poster shows the English alphabet A in a huge font. Towards the top end of it, we can see a graphic showing the 10 heads of Saif as Lankesh.
