The making of Adipurush movie still remains Aadhi (half done) because of continuous backlash received so far. The makers of the film are being slammed by people across the country for allegedly hurting their religious sentiments.
The budget of the film is around Rs 450-500 crore which makes it one of the expensive Indian films ever.
Earlier, it was reported that the makers of the film would spend an additional Rs 100 crore to improve the VFX of the film .
Now as per the latest report in ETimes, the makers of Adipurush have decided to shave off Saif’s beard using VFX . After the teaser of the film got released , people all across the nation criticized the look of Saif Ali Khan as Ravana/Lankesh, who is seen sporting a beard and a buzz cut.
