With great roles, comes great responsibility. Kriti Sanon is aware that all eyes are on her as she portrays the role of Sita, one of the most revered characters of Ramayana, in the magnum opus, Adipurush. “I am overwhelmed and grateful that I am playing such an iconic character. The role comes with a lot of pressure because we don’t want to [portray] anything that is not [true to] the part. People’s sentiments are attached to the character,” she begins. The Om Raut-directed spectacle features South sensation Prabhas in the titular role with Saif Ali Khan essaying the role of Raavan. 

The bilingual marks Sanon’s second-period drama after Ashutosh Gowariker’s Panipat (2019). Noting that being authentic to the story is half the battle won, she says, “When you’re telling a story that is not set in today’s times, you have to keep a check on your body language and dialogue delivery. With Om, I am in safe hands. I like his clarity on the film, and he is technically sound. This is the first time I am shooting a film that demands such extensive chroma work. It is a pan-India film, so I had to work on my Telugu.”
