But then, the teaser was anything but what fans were expecting with many pointing out the shoddy VFX work in the glimpse. The hashtag #DissapointingAdipurush began trending on social media. There was criticism on Prabhas’ face and body being heavily digitally enhanced, odd choices when it comes to costumes with Prabhas’ character in traditional ones while Saif’s character Lankesh sported something more contemporary, the cartoonish look of all the creatures featured in the teaser and the digitally enhanced backgrounds in every frame, failing to create anything remotely realistic. Many were also surprised and taken aback by the odd mix of live-action and animation that Om seemed to have used.
Now, an animation studio has come forward to allege on their social media that the makers have supposedly copied their work for the first-look and certain scenes in the teaser. Sharing a digitally rendered poster that sees Ram entering the battlefield, the studio wrote, ‘The original,” showing how similar Prabhas’ fist-look from the film was to this one. They also shared a particular shot of the film featuring the vanarasena writing, “This one, my students pointed out the resemblance. (sic)” again, sharing the original poster it seemed to be inspired from.
The studio also wrote a note stating they’re not looking to ‘fight’ the makers on these charges, stating, “It’s disappointing to see our work being copied like this. But over the years, it’s happened so many times that it’s just funny at this point. We don’t see the point of fighting this as we’d rather focus on bringing you guys awesome content and continue on building that road. But maybe…just maybe, the word will spread 🙂 (sic)”
The makers are yet to respond to these allegations, with few fans also having noticed the similarities and pointing it out.
