Adipurush, from the time it released in theatres last Friday, has attracted criticism because of its ‘cringe’ dialogues, written by Manoj Muntashir, and poor graphics. The makers of Prabhas and Kriti Sanon‘s film recently revised a few dialogues following the backlash. Now, former chairman of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) and actor Gajendra Chauhan, who played the iconic role of Yudhishthir in BR Chopra’s TV show Mahabharat, has reacted to the Adipurush controversy and said that he did not watch the film despite buying a ticket as he didn’t want to “compromise” on his beliefs.
Gajendra Chauhan also suggested that Adipurush would potentially “corrupt future generations”. He said, “I believe there is a deep conspiracy behind it; they want to corrupt future generations. I would like to tell T-Series’ Bhushan ji that he should take care of all these things with the same sincerity as his father did and the way he has respected religious sentiments. Such things should not be valued at all in the future.”
Earlier, actor Mukesh Khanna, who played Bhishma in Mahabharat, had accused the makers of “disrespecting Ramayana”. In a video that he posted on his YouTube channel Bheeshm International, Khanna said, “There is no bigger disrespect to Ramayana than Adipurush. Om Raut seems to have no knowledge of Ramayana and on top of that, we have the great buddhijeevi (intellectual) writer Manoj Muntashir Shukla, who has turned our Ramayana into Kalyug. His nonsensical dialogues and sleep-inducing screenplay has created a film that can make even sleeping pills blush. This film has no relation to any of the Ramayanas ever written.”
