Here's a little background - the teaser of Adipurush released last year and the VFX of the film was widely criticised. Additionally, NY VFXwala, a studio founded by Ajay Devgn, had released a statement disassociating itself from Adipurush. Cut to May 2023, the revised VFX in the trailer of the film managed to impress the Internet. Twitter did note the drastic change in the trailer quality as compared to that of the CGI-heavy teaser that released last year. Saif Ali Khan's dialogue delivery as antagonist Lankesh turned out to be a fan favourite too. Adipurush, directed by Om Raut, is based on the Ramayana and it stars Prabhas as Raghav, Kriti Sanon as Janaki, Sunny Singh as Shesh and Devdatta Nage as Hanuman.
Check out the trailer of Adipurush here:
"Although at some points it looks like animation but they improved a lot from what we have saw in teaser of Adipurush. I'm quite impressed with visuals in Adipurush trailer," read a tweet.

"Adipurush trailer is much better than the teaser. Some shots still look cartoonish but it was good enough overall. I think it's going to be a big Blockbuster," read another tweet.

After the CGI-heavy teaser received major flak last year, NY VFXwala, a studio founded by Ajay Devgn, had released a statement disassociating itself from the film. "Leading VFX studio, NY VFXwala has clarified that they have not worked/are not working on the CG/special effects of Adipurush. An official note on their behalf clarified, 'we are putting this on record because we have been asked by a few media people,'" read the statement tweeted by Taran Adarsh.
