By Murtuza Iqbal

Adipurush is undoubtedly one of the most awaited pan-India films. The movie stars Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan, and Kriti Sanon in the lead roles.


The first schedule of the film took place in Mumbai, and it was wrapped in March end. After a few weeks, the makers were all set to start the next shooting schedule in the city, but the lockdown was announced.

Now, according to a report in Mid-day, the shooting of the film will be shifted to Hyderabad. A source told the daily, “With 60 days of shoot behind them, the team has about 90 more days of work remaining. Om, with his producers, has zeroed in on a Hyderabad studio where he can shoot in adherence with safety protocols. Most portions will be shot indoors as the movie, in keeping with the director’s filmmaking style, is VFX-heavy.”

Well, the film’s spokesperson didn’t give any detail about the location, but stated, “We want to resume work at the earliest. The team is exploring a safe working environment where the shoot can be completed.”

It is said that the shooting of Adipurush will resume on 15th May.

Directed by Om Raut, Adipurush is based on Ramayana. Prabhas will be seen playing the role of Lord Ram, Saif will portray the character of Raavan and Kriti will be seen as Sita. The movie is slated to release on 11th August 2022.

Education or imposition? Tamil Nadu battles India government over Hindi in schools

A war of words has erupted between Tamil Nadu’s Chief Minister MK Stalin and the federal government over the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which recommends a three-language formula in schools, with two of the three being native to India. Stalin has voiced strong objections, claiming that the policy could lead to the imposition of Hindi, a northern Indian language, in non-Hindi-speaking states like Tamil Nadu. The issue has reignited old tensions between southern states and the central government over the privileging of Hindi.

Historical resistance to Hindi

Tamil Nadu has a deep-rooted history of opposing the promotion of Hindi, dating back to the 1960s. Protests broke out in the state when the federal government attempted to make Hindi the sole official language, leading to a compromise that allowed the continued use of English. Language in Tamil Nadu is not merely a means of communication but a powerful symbol of cultural identity.
