After speculations of over few weeks, makers of 'Adipurush' have confirmed that Saif Ali Khan will play baddie in the Prabhas' starrer. It seems that Saif's negative avatar in 'Tanhaji' impressed the director and made him decide to collaborate with the actor again. Sharing the news on Instagram, Prabhas wrote, 7000 years ago existed the world's most intelligent demon! Well watching the face-off between Prabhas and Saif will be a visual treat for fans.
Prabhas praised Saif Ali Khan and expressed his happiness to share screen space with him as he said, "I am super excited to work with Saif Ali Khan and I am eager to share screen space with a great actor." On the other hand, Saif said in excitement, "I’m thrilled to be working with Omi dada again! He has a grand vision and the technical knowledge to really pull it off. He has taken me beyond the cutting edge of our cinema in the way he shot Tanhaji and this time he is taking us all further! It’s a phenomenal project and I’m super thrilled to be a part of it! I look forward to clashing swords with the mighty Prabhas and to play a role that is electrifying and demonic!"
Director Om Raut also heaped praises on Saif and quoted, "To play the strongest villain from our Epic we needed a brilliant actor. Who better than Saif Ali Khan, one of the greatest actor of our lifetime, to essay this powerful role. Personally, I enjoy every day at work with him.
