Hyderabad: Bollywood actor Kriti Sanon's biggest movie of her career Adipurush, which also features superstar Prabhas, will hit the theatres on June 16. In a recent interview, Kriti talked about playing the role of Janaki (Sita) in the movie, sharing screen space with Prabhas, and working on Om Raut's magnum opus, which is a VFX-heavy visual extravaganza.
In the interview, Kriti stated that Prabhas has "expressive eyes and a calm demeanour" due to which she cannot think of anybody else other than him portraying the role of Raghav (Ram) in Adipurush. She shared that she had first heard Prabhas was a rather "reserved" actor but she broke the ice with him by "casually" chit-chatting with him on the sets of Adipurush. Kriti said that Prabhas was "incredibly grounded, warm, and respectful" during the film's shooting period.
Kriti continued by opening up about her experience filming for the VFX-heavy Adipurush on a blue screen. According to Kriti, Om Raut's direction is of enormous scope and size, and the audience will have a "visually spectacular experience" while watching the movie. Though the whole movie is shot in a studio, she also revealed that she used to playfully remind the director that she's shooting for her "biggest film on the smallest set".

Kriti further revealed that she always felt a sense of responsibility while shooting for the movie since she was essaying the role of Sita, "a figure deeply revered and worshipped by millions," and hence she realized early on the "inherent expectation to portray Janki with utmost respect and authenticity." Adipurush, which will release on Friday, also stars Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan portraying the role of Ravana.
