Last month, the team of Adipurush started rolling with motion capture. Speaking on the same, producer Prasad Sutar had said, “High-end visual effects combined with real-time technology is commonly used in international films and this always helps filmmakers narrate their story. To create the world of Adipurush and to tell the epic tale, we are bringing together the same. Adipurush is a huge mission for all of us and we are looking forward to embark on this journey with Bhushanji.”
The Om Raut directorial will be a period drama adapted from the Indian epic Ramayana.
