Prabhas starrer Adipurush is for all intents and purposes one of the most anticipated upcoming Indian films, and the fact that it’s being projected as a pan-India filmmounted on lavish budget, against the backdrop of Hindu mythologyfrom the Director of Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, Om Rautmakes Adipurush all the more anticipated. That Being said, the Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan The starrer seems to be facing choppy waters now and that, too, due to its lead star.
Prabhas hikes fee for Adipurush; budget shoots up by 25%
A well-placed source within the industry has exclusively apprised BollywoodLife that Prabhas has supposedly asked the makers of Adipurush to hike his fee to a jaw-dropping ₹120 crore. Earlier, his fee for the movie was said to be somewhere between ₹90-100 crore. What this has done now is apparently put the producers in a fix because on one hand, giving into Prabhas’ demand shoots the budget up by about 25%, and on the other, with a sizeable portion of the film left to shoot, not giving into his demand could create unwanted friction on the sets, leading to an unpleasant working environment. What’s really astonishing is the actor’s demand despite the disastrous performance of Radhe Shyam at the box office.
Earlier, Prabhas fans trended ‘Wake Up Team Adipurush,
Amongst other unwanted news for the film, it seems Prabhas fans are also quite upset as after being announced in mid 2020, there’s been relatively no update from the makers, except for the inclusion of Saif Ali Khan as the chief antagonist and Kriti Sanon as the leading lady, which seems to have tested the patience of Prabhas fans, who had vented their annoyance on Twitter by trendingWake Up Team Adipurush, Check out the best #WakeUpTeamAdipurush tweets below:
