Adipurush teaser has left the Internet flabbergasted and more so Saif Ali Khan's appearance as Ravan. Netizens are comparing his look to Khilji, Taimur/Timur and Aurangzeb.
Adipurush teaser has left the netizens disappointed. Directed by Om Raut, the first teaser features Prabhas as Lord Ram, Saif Ali Khan as Ravan, Kriti Sanon as Sita and Sunny Singh as Lakshman. The teaser was launched in a grand event in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, on October 2. However, the teaser is now in the news for all the wrong reasons.
The teaser impressed some but many criticised it for bad VFX. Not just that, but Saif, who plays Lankesh in the film, his appearance did not go down well with the netizens. Some even said that he looked more like Taimur AKA Timur, the Mughal invader.
