New Delhi: ‘Adipurush’ has made a roaring start, grossing Rs 140 crore worldwide on the first day of its release on June 16.
But the Prabhas and Kriti Sanon-starrer, based on the epic Ramayana, has been courting controversy as well.
A day after a PIL was filed by Hindu Sena against the film for hurting sentiments of Hindu community, a Rajya Sabha MP has demanded an apology from the makers of ‘Adipurush’ for allegedly using “pedestrian dialogues” in the film.
Priyanka Chaturvedi, of Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray), claimed that the dialogues were disrespectful to the characters of Ramayana.
“The dialogue writer of ‘Adipurush’ @manojmuntashir, as well as the director, should apologise to the nation for the pedestrian dialogues written for the movie, especially for Lord Hanuman,” Priyanka tweeted.
“It hurts every Indian’s sensibilities to see the kind of language being attributed to our revered gods in the name of entertainment. You make a movie on Maryada Purushottam Ram and cross all boundaries of Maryada for quick box office success is unacceptable,” she added.
Prabhas plays the character of Raghav (Lord Ram), Kriti is Janaki (Sita) and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh (Raavan) in the film.
