In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Kriti spoke about Prabhas, “I would love to work with him again, I had a great time working with him…apart from food something unique about him... I think he has some weird purity in his eyes. Sometimes, I’ve seen his shots like, when the camera is really close there is so little that he does with his eyes & you can really feel everything that he is feeling. I think he is one of those people whose eyes are really expressive and very deep & there is something very pure, which I also feel is one of the reasons why he really suits the part because he has that sense of niceness and purity in his eyes”.

Adipurush, with a budget of 500 crore (US$63 million), is one of the most expensive Indian films ever made. Visual effects are expected to cost around Rs 250 crore (US$31 million).
