Om Raut’s multi-starrer upcoming film ‘Adipurush’ has one more name added to its list of actors. After Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan, now Sonal Chauhan has joined the cast of Raut’s magnum-opus mythological film. Sonal has been roped in to play an important role in Raut’s version of ‘Ramayan’. Adipurush is one of the highly anticipated films of Raut which was earlier expected to be released this year, however, its release date has now been pushed to 2023.

Confirming the news to a leading daily about her joining the Adipurush cast, Sonal Chuhan said, “Yes, I'm a part of Adipurush and I'm excited about it. It's a very different world from the kind of work I've done so far. I am sure the audience will enjoy the magnum opus that is Adipurush."

As for Sonal Chauhan, the actress has another interesting and big-ticket project on her hand – The Ghost. The actress replaced Jacqueline Fernandez in Nagarjuna starrer ‘The Ghost’. It will be the first time that Nagarjuna and Sonal will be seen together in this Praveen Sattaru’s high-octane action entertainer.

Meanwhile, Adipurush, which is being bankrolled by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series, was earlier expected to be released on August 11. However, the date has now been shifted to January 12, 2023, making way for Aamir Khan and Kareen Kapoor Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha.
