The film directed by Om Raut narrates a modern retelling of the epic Ramayana, with Prabhas portraying the character of Raghava and Kriti Sanon as Janaki. Saif Ali Khan takes on the role of Ravana, and Sunny Singh portrays Hanuman. Directed by Om Raut, the film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Om Raut, Prasad Sutar, and Rajesh Nair.

Adipurush, made with a massive budget of approximately Rs 450-500 crore is still far away from the Rs 300 crore mark in India. It has only managed to collect around 282.33 crores at the box office, leaving the producers facing potential losses of up to Rs 200 crore.

One of the key reasons behind the film's mixed performance at the box office might be the controversy surrounding certain dialogues. The original ‘Lanka Dahan’ scene featuring Bajrangbali's character sparked outrage among the audience due to objectionable lines. However, the makers decided to address the issue and made necessary changes, replacing the word 'baap' with 'Lanka' in the new prints.

Recently, the Allahabad High Court criticized the film's makers for allegedly distorting the Ramayana and questioned the censor board about the possibility of revoking the film's certificate.
