On the auspicious occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, the makers of 'Adipurush' unveiled a new poster of Lord Hanuman, played by Devdatta Nage.

Helmed by Om Raut, 'Adipurush' is the retelling of the Hindu epic Ramayana, starring Prabhas as Lord Ram, Kriti Sanon as Sita, Sunny Singh as Laxman and Devdatta Nage as Lord Hanuman.

It tells the tale of Raghava, who travels to Lanka with his army which includes Laxman and Hanuman to rescue his wife Janaki from the clutches of Lankesh, played by Saif Ali Khan.

Devdatta Nage as Lord Hanuman in Adipurush

On Thursday, Raut took to his Twitter handle to share the poster of Nage as Lord Hanuman.

Along with that, he wrote, "Ram ke Bhakt aur Ramkatha ke praan… Jai Pavanputra Hanuman!"

In the poster, Nage can be seen engrossed in deep meditation as Lord Hanuman, with Prabhas' Lord Ram in the background.

Adipurush controversies

Om Raut's magnum opus 'Adipurush' has been mired wuth controversies ever since the first announcement video of the film was released last year.

The makers got brutally trolled for the poor VFX and caricaturish portrayal of Lord Ram and Ravana. Several users also pointed out that it was a disrespect to the epic, which is the foundation of the Hindu culture.

On Ram Navami, the makers dropped a new poster featuring Prabhas, Kriti, Sunny and Nage, but that too failed to impress the audience. It was specifically Prabhas' beefed up body as Lord Ram which did not impress the audience.

A complaint has also been lodged against the makers for showing Lord Ram in costume and sans janeu, which is a sacred thread in the Hindu culture.

'Adipurush' was earlier set to release in January this year, but post the harsh feedback from public, the makers decided to rework on the visuals. The film will now hit the silver screens on June 16, 2023.
