Actor Kriti Sanon, who plays Sita in the upcoming movie Adipurush, says that an actor needs to stay within 'certain boundaries' while essaying such a revered character. Speaking to Filmfare, the Dilwale star added that director Om Raut did his homework before beginning the project and this made the process a lot easier.

“I know he has written the film and the character so beautifully. He guides everyone so well, that I don’t see anything going wrong," said the actor.

Adipurush is an adaptation of the epic saga the Ramayana and celebrates the victory of 'good over evil' It stars Prabhas, who emerged as a pan-India brand with Baahubali, as Lord Rama and is touted to be the biggest project of his career.
