Adipurush, starring Prabhas and critic i say, has been making headlines for its controversial content. Another veteran actor after Arun Govil Mukesh Khanna Criticized the Adipurush team for ‘distorting’ history. He strongly condemned the film in his YouTube video.
In a recent interview with ANI, Shaktimaan fame called Adipurush a ‘terrible joke’ on Ramayana. He said, “Who has given anyone the right to insult our scriptures? I have even said that both of them (Om Raut and Manoj Muntashir) have not even read Ramayana. Who does not know which boon to Ravana They affixed the boon of Hiranya Kashyapa to Ravana.
Highlighting Lord Shiva’s blessings on Ravana, he said, ‘While Shiva ji had given a boon to Ravana, now those who do not have so much knowledge, you are talking big things. This is utter nonsense. They should not be forgiven. Tomorrow.’ I had said on my channel that this entire team should be burnt standing at fifty degree Celsius.”
Criticizing director Om Raut and writer Manoj Muntashir, Mukesh said, ‘I thought they would hide their faces when all this is done, but they are coming out and explaining so much. They are saying that we are making it for Sanatan Dharma. Arey, is your Sanatan Dharma different from ours? He said that there was Valmiki ji’s version, then there was Tulsidas ji’s version, this is our version.
Adipurush stars Kriti Sanon as Janaki, Prabhas as Raghava, Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh, Devdutt Nag as Bajrang, and Sunny Singh as Laxman. Based on the epic Ramayana, the film has been receiving criticism for its ‘cheap’ dialogues, ‘shoddy’ VFX and costumes.

The makers have also agreed to revise some of its dialogues which may have annoyed the audience.
