Om Raut says he is taking notes after receiving backlash for Adipurush teaser: We will not disappoint 

Ever since the Adipurush teaser has been released, netizens just couldn’t stop talking about it. From its VFX to the looks of Saif Ali Khan and Prabhas, fans have been sharing their mixed reviews on social media. On the other hand, Filmmaker Om Raut is reacting to the backlash and mentioned that he is taking notes. 

In an interview with News 18, Om Raut tells fans to have faith in them and asserts that he will not disappoint the viewers once the final product is out. “Hum par vishwas rakhein (have faith in us). For us, our audience is supreme. So all the sages, our elders, whoever is telling us things, we are taking note of it. We are writing it down and I assure you that when this film releases on 12 January 2023, we will not disappoint anyone. Believe in us, we will make it happen,” the National Award winner said. 

Tahnaji The Unsung Warrior director also mentions he will be open to making any changes to his movie amid the backlash. Om said, “We have seen only 95 seconds of the teaser. I say this again, we are taking all the notes. I guarantee that nobody will be disappointed.”

Moreover, the filmmaker also responded to claims that the demon king Raavan’s look has been heavily inspired by Ranveer Singh’s Khilji from the movie Padmaavat.

Om said, “In order to make him intimidating, there is a certain visual, a certain image that comes to mind, which we tried to capture through our imagination. But definitely, that has got nothing to do with any Khiljis of the world, Nadir Shahs of the world, Genghis Khans of the world, or Babars of the world. Not at all remotely is there a connection between them. So in today’s times, people perceive Alauddin Khilji as a villain. So it is very understandable when they look at Ravana, the greatest villain of all time, they might see glimpses of Khilji, they might see glimpses of Kans also, they might see glimpses of Duryodhan also, they might see glimpses of Genghis Khan also.”

Adipurush starring Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan, Kriti Sanon and Sunny Singh will release on January 12, 2023.
