The much-awaited movie of 2023, ‘Adipurush,’ which stars south superstar Prabhas, hit the big screens on Friday and received mixed reactions from moviegoers and critics. The film has also faced criticism on social media for its clunky VFX, dialogues, and portrayal of Ramayana characters.
Many people raised questions about the depiction of Lord Ram sporting a moustache and Ravana with a long beard and stylish haircut, stating that it hurt their religious sentiments.
Amid the controversy and protests surrounding Adipurush, the artworks of an AI artist have gone viral on the internet, receiving praise from all over.
An AI artist named Sahid recently shared a series of images depicting Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan as Ravana using an AI tool, and the results are quite impressive. Interestingly, Saif also portrayed Ravana in Om Raut’s directorial Adipurush, which is facing backlash for its portrayal of Ramayana characters.
However, the AI artist’s artwork is receiving praise, with some netizens stating that his version of Saif as the mighty Ravana is far better than the character portrayed in the Prabhas starrer movie.
The artist employed the AI tool Midjourney AI Adobe Photoshop to create these amazing artworks. He took to his Instagram account @sahixd and shared the images with the caption, ‘Reimagining Saif Ali Khan as Ravan.’
Since being shared, the clip has accumulated thousands of views and likes. The post has also prompted users to express their thoughts in the comments section. Many Instagram users praised the artwork, stating that the makers of Adipurush spent over 600 crores but could not portray Ravana better than the AI artist.”
Taking about Adipurush, apart from Prabhas the movie stars Kriti Sanon, Saif Ali Khan, Sunny Singh and Devdatta Nage in pivotal roles. The dialogues were written by Manoj Muntashir.
