The makers of Prabhas’ highly anticipated film Adipurush have been receiving severe backlash for the VFX used in the movie’s trailer. Even the film’s release date was postponed for about 6 months in order to deliver the best experience to the audiences.

Recently it was announced that Adipurush will be making its world premiere at the Tribeca Festival in New York on June 13, 2023. The news was shared by the official Twitter page of the film festival, who named the film in their lineup. 

Taking to their Instagram account, Tribeca Film Festival shared a montage of the films being premiered at their festival this year. The video also featured a few seconds from Adipurush.

The glimpse of Adipurush went viral on social media, with users noticing a slight change in the VFX of the film. Reacting to the updates, one social media user wrote, “Compare this Upgraded version with Old Youtube Teaser!! It's Way Better Now and It's GOOODDD.” However, another user wrote, “Brightness kam aur colour tone warm kar dene se vfx & cgi improve nahi hota, right?”

It's an absolute privilege to be a part of a project that mirrors the ethos of our nation. To see our Indian films, especially one that is so close to me, Adipurush, reach the global stage makes me extremely proud not only as an actor but as an Indian too. I look forward to seeing the audience response at Tribeca,” the actor said.
