When asked about his role as Lakshman in the movie 'Adipurush', the actor added, "It was difficult to play the character, given that we had to dub the dialogues in Telugu as well and also had to work on our bodies. Plus we had various action sequences to work on. It took more than 100 days!"
This is the first action film for Sunny as an actor. He stated, "I had goosebumps many a time on the set while shooting for this movie. It is a very special movie for me." Adipurush is one of the most expensive Indian film ever made, with a budget of ₹500 crore (US$63 million).
After Adipurush, Sunny Singh will be seen in a family comedy 'Luv Ki Arrange Marriage' opposite Avneet Kaur, which is going to be directed by Ishrat Khan.
The 'Adipurush' anticipation has finally come to an end as the movie was released in the theatres today. Even a night before the release, people were seen celebrating love for Prabhas and his character of Lord Ram in the movie with fire-crackers, drums and more. One seat was reserved in the name of 'Bajrang' (Hanuman) in every theatre. There was high anticipation in the run-up to the release of the movie, with thousands of tickets booked in advance. However, the movie has been receiving mixed responses ever since its release.
