Adipurush: “No Plans To Shave Off Ravana’s Beard”

Ever since  the disastrous  teaser trailer  of  Adipurush  made its way into the public domain one  has been  hearing  of  ‘damage  control’ being done. The film’s  release  has benn postponed  so  that  the  film’s  special effects may be  re-worked.

That is  fact. Now starts  fiction. Highly imaginative desktop scoopsters  have come    up with  a brainwave  that  Saif Ali Khan’s beard  would be  digitally removed.

It  doesn’t  end  there. It is  also suggested  that the director Om  Raut  would, alternatively, re-shoot  Saif’s Raavan  scenes without a beard.  This, in principle,  means re-shooting the  entire  film.

Dismissing these  reports  as preposterous , a  source close to the project says,  “We haven’t been told  about any changes.  As  for Saif removing his beard digitally  or  by re-shooting, no such suggestion has been made. There are  numerous instances  of  Raavan being  depicted  with a  beard on  screen.The  beard stays.”
