For the past couple of days, there has been a lot of talk regarding Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming action thriller ‘Jawan’. The makers announced last year that it will be hitting the screens worldwide on June 7th but it is May already and there is not even a single update from the movie’s unit. It is almost confirmed that ‘Jawan’ is going to be postponed and this will come as a huge relief for Prabhas fans.
Going into the details, Prabhas’ ‘Adipurush’ is all set to hit the screens on 16th June. Though it was planned to release long back, the team decided to spend more time on post-production works including the VFX due to the heavy criticism received when the teaser came out. ‘Adipurush’ is a mythological film where Prabhas will be seen as lord Ram while Kriti Sanon plays the role of Sita. Sunny Singh will be seen as Laxman while Saif Ali Khan played the role of antagonist Lankesh in the movie. Directed by Om Raut and produced under the T-Series banner, there are high expectations on this movie.
With SRK scoring a massive hit like ‘Pathaan’, releasing ‘Adipurush’ within a week after ‘Jawan’ release would have affected Prabhas’ film a lot. There is a lot of negativity over ‘Adipurush’ and they are slowly getting over it with some good posters and a song. The trailer which is expected to arrive soon is going to be very crucial for the film’s box office prospects. Competing with Shah Rukh at this point in time would have been a self-sabotage from ‘Adipurush’ team but the news of ‘Jawan’ getting postponed is exciting to the Prabhas fans as they feel it can work to their advantage. Let us wait and see how things turn out in June.
While ‘Adipurush’ will arrive on June 16th, ‘Salaar’ is coming out on 28th September. ‘Project K’ and ‘Raja Deluxe’ are still in the making while Prabhas agreed to a movie with Sandeep Reddy Vanga which is titled ‘Spirit’.
