Adipurush row: After massive trolling and backlash on social media, the makers of Adipurush changed the dialogues of the film, leading to an outcry from the audience. Director Om Raut and writer Manoj Muntashir also received death threats from the Kshatriya Karni Sena at a press conference held in Madhya Pradesh. Meanwhile, amid the ongoing controversy over the dialogues of the films, the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court came down heavily on the censor board and the makers of the recently released pan-India release ‘Adipurush’. “What does the censor board keep doing? What do you want to teach the future generations?” the court asked while hearing a plea on some controversial dialogues in ‘Adipurush’.
The court also questioned the absence of the producer, director and other parties during the hearing. The petition was filed by advocate Kuldeep Tiwari.
The next hearing in the case is to be held today (June 27). ‘Adipurush’, which is an adaptation of the epic Ramayana, has garnered huge critical acclaim after its release. From critics to reviewers, many expressed doubts over some of the film’s dialogues. The dialogues for which the makers have been criticized include ‘Marega beta’, ‘Bua ka bagicha hai kya’ and ‘Jalegi tere baap ki’.
The film stars Prabhas as Lord Ram, Kriti Devi as Sita, Sunny Singh as Lakshmana Saif Ali Khan As the mythical water-headed demon king Ravana in the epic. Despite online outrage and negative reviews, the makers of ‘Adipurush’ revamped the dialogues.
