About Adipurush trailer 

As per PTI, The 3.19-minute trailer mostly focuses on Rama's journey from Raghava to Adipurush as he braces for a war with demon king Lankesh, played by Saif Ali Khan. The trailer begins with Raghava (Prabhas), Janaki (Sanon) and Shesh (Sunny Singh) leaving the Ayodhya palace for 14-year exile and traverses through the jungles where Janki is propelled to cross the Lakshman Rekha as Saif Ali Khan's Lankesh appears in disguise of a sage. 

It then transports the viewers to Lanka, gives a glimpse of Bajrang's (Devdatta Nage) meeting with Janaki in Ashok Vatika, and Raghav's quest to crush evil forces as he travels across the sea with the army of monkeys and bears, led by Hanuman, to rescue his beloved wife.
