Ban Adipurush, says Ayodhya priest: Seems like the difficulty isn’t getting over anytime quickly for Om Raut’s Adipurush. The movie, starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan amongst others, has landed in a brand new controversy after the chief priest of Ayodhya’s Ram Temple demanded a ban on the film. In his newest interview with a day by day, priest Satyendra Das questioned the depiction of the characters in Adipurush and criticised the makers for making the movie.Also Read – Adipurush: Here’s How Much The Actors Charged For Their Respective Roles, Prabhas’s Salary Will Blow You Mind – Watch Video
DO NOT MAKE RAMAYAN TO HOG LIMELIGHT, SAYS AYODHYA PRIEST AGAINST ADIPURUSH
While talking to Hindustan Times, he mentioned he’s not in opposition to making a movie about Ramayana or portraying the characters however the depiction must be proper. Das criticised the portrayal of Lord Ram, Hanuman and Ravana within the movie. He mentioned none of those characters has been made to appear like how they’ve been described within the texts. “Making a film is not a crime but they should not be made to create deliberate controversies to hog the limelight,” he mentioned.

ADIPURUSH CONTROVERSY: OBJECTIONS RAISED OVER PORTRAYAL OF RAVAN, HANUMAN
The assertion comes a day after many politicians raised objections over the portrayal of characters in Adipurush. BJP spokesperson Malavika Avinash earlier questioned the analysis that the makers did earlier than designing the character of Ravan in Adipurush. She mentioned the teaser of the movie exhibits Saif wearing ‘leather jackets’ with blue eye make-up and that’s precisely the type of ‘creative liberty’ one shouldn’t have taken with Ramayan. “The Ravana in the photograph that I see floating around is a guy who looks nothing Indian, has blue eye makeup and is wearing leather jackets. This is our history they are representing; they cannot do it in the guise of creative liberty,” she mentioned.

Expressing disappointment with the teaser and the characterisation in Adipurush, Vishva Hindu Parishad member Ajay Sharma mentioned the ‘Hindu society’ is not going to tolerate such mocking of Ramayan. “The values of Hindu society have been ridiculed. Hindu society will not tolerate this. The VHP will not allow this film to be screened in theatres,” mentioned Sharma who’s the Prachar Pramukh of the VHP’s Sambhal unit.
HANUMAN JI IS WEARING LEATHER: ADIPURUSH CRITICISM GROWS
On Tuesday, even the house minister of Madhya Pradesh, Narottam Mishra, mentioned, “Hanuman ji is shown wearing leather, whereas the description (in the scriptures) of the deity’s costume is different… These are scenes that hurt religious sentiments. I am writing a letter to Om Raut to remove all such scenes from the film. If not removed, we will consider legal action.”
Meanwhile, director Om Raut just lately addressed the criticism over the sub-par CGI and the VFX work in Adipurush. He mentioned the VFX work is such that it will possibly solely justify the standard on the massive display. Raut mentioned the graphic work within the movie can’t be appreciated on a cellphone’s display. He informed Indian Express, “I was disheartened for sure, not surprised because the film is made for a larger medium-the big screen. You can cut it down to some extent but can’t bring it down to a mobile phone. That’s an environment I can’t control. Given a choice, I’d never put it on YouTube but that’s the need of the hour. We need to put it there so that it reaches a wide audience.”
Adipurush is slated to hit the screens on January 12. Watch this area for all the most recent updates on the movie!
