The much awaited film Adipurush, the mythological drama, was released globally yesterday. Directed by Om Raut, this film, which includes Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan, premiered in 2D and 3D across various languages such as Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada on June 16th. However, upon its arrival, the film opened to negative response from the audience and critics as well. Though it gathered a good amount of collection at the box office on the first day, the Controversies do not seem to leave this film.
The audience trolled the visual effects, costume/character sketch choices, and objected to the wrong depiction of the mythological characters in the film. Numerous negative reviews have criticized the insertion of what some see as “modern” elements, suggesting that they were completely unnecessary. Like that was not enough, director Om Raut had to delete his old negative tweet on Lord Hanuman.
In the midst of the recent criticism, director Om Raut’s old tweet has gone viral. In 2015, during Hanuman Jayanti the director took to his Twitter account and wrote” Was God Hanuman Deaf? People around my building think so. Playing loud music like “really loud” on Hanuman Jayanti. Plus all irrelevant songs”.
Netizens began to dig out this negative tweet on Hanuman by the director and made it viral by criticizing him. Om Raut deleted the tweet after it went viral. Netizens are saying that Om Raut has no serious devotion to Lord Hanuman or even Ram. He just used the Epic Ramayana for the commercial purposes and nothing more than that.
