Sunny Singh, who portrays Prabhas’ onscreen younger brother Laxman in the film, has said that their pairing on the project has brought them closer. He also shared that they would often become emotional during certain scenes while shooting the film.

In an interview with the Indian Express, Sunny shared that the Adipurush holds a special place in his heart because he had the opportunity to work with Prabhas, who has become like an elder brother to him now. “We hit it off from day one and he would always be around for me. So when we shot some scenes together, we used to get emotional as we felt like two brothers going through that situation in reality,” he said.

Sunny mentioned that they also had scenes that required expressing emotions without any dialogue. He said, “There were times we had to do scenes without saying a single line, by just looking at each other. We also had to imagine a lot because we shot on a blue screen so that was a constant challenge and a very different experience for all of us.”

Prior to the worldwide theatrical release of the film, the film’s producers organised a special screening event in Mumbai on Thursday night, June 15. The event was exclusively for the film’s cast, crew, and their families. However, the film’s lead actor Prabhas and the antagonist Saif Ali Khan, who portrays the character of Lankesh, were unable to attend due to their hectic schedules.
