Adipurush: Sidharth Shukla to join the cast of Prabhas starrer?

Sidharth Shukla, the winner of Bigg Boss 13, has won several hearts during his stint in the popular reality show. Post finale, the actor has secured a huge place on social media and he is probably one of the most popular celebs in the tinsel town. According to reports, the makers of Adipurush have approached Sidharth for a crucial role in the mythological magnum opus. The movie has pan-Indian star Prabhas as the lead actor portraying the role of Lord Rama while Saif Ali Khan will be seen as Ravan. While actress Kriti Sanon will be seen as Sita, actor Sunny Singh will portray the role of Laxman.

Adipurush is amongst the highly-anticipated biggies of India. The film slated to release next year is touted to be the biggest Indian film in terms of VFX and scale. While an official confirmation is awaited, the news has definitely made the day for Shukla’s fans.

The reports that are coming in, state that Sidharth Shukla has been roped in to play the role of Meghnad in Adipurush. For the unversed, Meghnad is the eldest son of Ravana and Mandodari, as per the epic. He is described as one of the greatest warriors in Hindu literature. It will be exciting to see the Broken But Beautiful 3 actor essaying such an exciting role in a period drama.

On the movie front, Sidharth Shukla’s last Bollywood appearance was Karan Johar’s Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania. It also marked his Bollywood debut. He’ll be next seen in ALTBalaji’s Broken But Beautiful Season 3. Meanwhile Broken But Beautiful season 3 trailer is out, and it is everything a Sidharth Shukla fan could have expected. The actor is introduced as the “angry young man of the Hindi theater” to which Sidharth smirks and replies, “Barood hoga toh aag toh lagegi hi.” It seems he takes his Bigg Boss persona to the series. Netizens have also compared him with Shahid Kapoor starrer Kabir Singh. The series will start streaming from 29th May.
