The upcoming Hindu mythological film Adipurush's teaser has triggered netizens. The makers of Adipurush, which has been directed by Om Raut, have spent a fortune on the visual effects. The film has reportedly been made on a budget of over INR 400 crores, most of which has been spent on the VFX but, it seems like the output is far from what the audience was expecting. While some find the content objectionable, others are miffed over the poor VFX quality. A section of social media users is disappointed with the excessive use of CGI (Computer-generated imagery) to transform actor Prabhas's physique to look more muscular.
Netizens took to Twitter and lashed out at the actor for not taking his role seriously. They called him out for relying on the VFX and not transforming his physique to do justice to his character as Lord Rama.
A user wrote, "May i know why is prabhas a Pan india superstar ? He has time and again disappointed us with his movies. And Bahubali’s credit goes to @ssrajamouli. Prabhas is so lazy and thankless. He couldn’t even build muscles for a 500cr project portraying SHRI RAM?his entire body is VFX."
Another said, "#Adipurush makers didn't ask Prabhas to work on real body instead of this VFX body ? He was in bad shape when they signed him for this movie. This is Ramayan & not 2 minutes maggi noodles. If he wasn't dedicated then there are many other actors as well."
