Prabhas Starrer Adipurush Not On Anushka Sharma's Post Pregnancy Plans, Actress Will Resume Work At The End Of April

After the big announcement of Prabhas starring Om Raut’s mythological magnum opus Adipurush has been confirmed the speculations about the film’s leading lady do not seem to die down. The movie might still be in the pre-production stage but Prabhas starring as Ram and battling Saif Ali Khan who will be seen as Ravan has already sent fans in a frenzy.

Anushka Sharma’s name was recently associated with the movie with claims that she will be the leading lady of this larger than life adaptation of Ramayan. It did raise questions over the validity of such reports as Adipurush will begin rolling at the end of this year and Anushka who is pregnant is due to deliver her first baby in January.

Now a Pinkvilla source has confirmed that “Adipurush definitely doesn’t feature in her plans”, adding that she was never approached for the film in the first place.

 Talking about Anushka’s big plans post pregnancy the source also added, “Anushka is making concrete post-pregnancy plans on her work front and we are excited about what those projects will be. As of now, she is soaking in all the happiness while expecting her first child. We think Anushka will be ready to shoot from the end of April next year. That’s what she has been aiming for and given how fit and healthy she is, she will definitely be ready to roll at that time." 

Deepika Padukone’s name was originally associated with the film close to its announcement but those reports also remain unconfirmed. Just a few days ago, Saif Ali Khan who has also played the villain Raut’s recent outing Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior was signed up and confirmed to play Lankesh.

Adipurush is lined up for a release in 2022 and will be a multi lingual project.
