Even as he becomes Lankesh for Adipurush, Saif says Prabhas has the more challenging part as virtuous Raghav in the adaptation of Ramayana

Prabhas and Saif Ali Khan
With Adipurush, director Om Raut is set to offer a retelling of one of the oldest stories about the victory of good over evil—that of the conflict between Ram and Ravana. Prabhas is shouldering the responsibility of bringing the virtuous Raghav to the big screen, while Saif Ali Khan plays the larger-than-life Lankesh. Stepping into the shoes of Lord Ram is a tall order, but Khan believes the South actor is the perfect choice for it.
Khan, who wrapped up the shoot of the mythological drama earlier this month, heaps praise on his co-actor, saying, “Prabhas is a subtle actor, and that is interesting because he is playing a difficult role. He is also a powerful actor. I understand why Prabhas is such a big star; he has got tremendous screen presence.” Their characters may be at loggerheads on screen, but the actor discovered a “charming young man with a naughty sense of humour” in the South star, off camera. “We pulled off some [heavy-duty] action scenes between Raghav and Lankesh, but as Prabhas and Saif, we had our share of laughs too. So, that conflict [between our characters] may come across interestingly on screen.”
