Actor Kriti Sanon is eagerly awaiting the release of her film ‘Adipurush’ which is the big-screen adaptation of the Ramayana. Om Raut’s multilingual period saga stars Kriti as Sita, Prabhas as Lord Ram, and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh.
In a recent interview with news agency PTI, Kriti said that she is ‘extremely proud’ of the film and she hopes that it ‘gets its due’.
‘It is a film that the entire team is extremely proud of. I hope and pray that people will also equally be proud of it. It is something that is so important to all of us. It is just not a film for us, it is way more than that. I hope it gets its due. I have a feeling it will,’ said Sanon.
The actor, who did not get to watch Ramanand Sagar’s ‘Ramayana’ while growing up, hopes the film appeals to the younger generation.
‘It is important to make these stories. It is educational for kids. I feel if I had not seen it then, today’s children would also have not seen it,’ she said.
‘I feel visual memory is way stronger than anything else. The best way to make kids know (this) story is to have it imprinted in their minds, it is important to watch it. If you are getting it out now after so many years, that same story also needs to relate to the audience it is catering to,’ she added.
‘Adipurush’ faced major backlash after the release of its teaser over the depiction of Ravana. The film, which was earlier scheduled to arrive in theatres on January 12, has now been shifted to June 16.
Kriti Sanon will soon be seen in the action-drama ‘Shehzada’ opposite Kartik Aaryan. The movie, directed by Rohit Dhawan, will release in theatres on February 17.
