The Tribeca Festival provides a platform that unites artists with a varied and diverse audience to appreciate storytelling in its many forms. One featured film at the festival is Adipurush, which is being promoted as a visually stunning experience and will be presented in 3D as a "Midnight Offering".
Actor Prabhas expressed that he felt honoured and privileged that Adipurush, a movie that reflects the nation's ethos, will have its global premiere at the Tribeca Festival in New York. He also took to Instagram to share a captivating poster of his upcoming film and expressed his pride as an Indian and an actor to see an Indian film, especially one that is close to his heart, reach the international stage. Prabhas is eagerly waiting to see the audience's response at Tribeca.
Last year, when the teaser of the magnum opus was released in October, depicting Hindu deities, and offering substandard visual effects, the film stirred up a controversy, leading to calls for a boycott. Saif's portrayal of the character Lankesh in the movie received criticism for the perceived Islamization of the character due to the demon king's beard and a buzz cut. Initially scheduled to release in theatres on 11 August 2022, the film's release date was postponed to 2023.
