New Delhi: Other than being one of the biggest and most awaited movies of 2023, Prabha’s Adipurush has also been the most controversial movie of the year.

With the Magnum Opus just a day away from its official release on the big screens tomorrow, we are going to take one last look at all the controversies the movie has been into all this while.

Adipurush’s Humane Ravana

One of the first backlash was received by Adipurush after one of its lead actors Saif ali khan stated in an interview that the movie is going to showcase a ‘Humane’ version of Ravana.

The actor faced heavy criticism from the netizens over his statement and later had to write down an apology for the same.

Ravana Or Allaundin Khilji?

This controversy erupted right after the movie’s first teaser was dropped by its makers.

The netizens were left utterly disappointed by Ravans looks in the movie’s initial teaser and bashed the same brutally. Some even went on to say that Adipurush Ravana looks more like Allaundin Khilji Or Aurangzeb.

Later, the movie’s team revised the VFX and fixed the appearance of Ravana along with some other criticized characters of the movie to avoid any further controversies.

Animation studios accuse Adipurush of stealing their work.

The teaser was also called out for its disrespectful portrayal of Lord Hanuman, Ravana, and other prominent Characters in the movie.

Calls for ban on Adipurush

Amid controversies and criticism over Adipurush’s Initial poster and teaser, A plea was filled in a Delhi court asking for a complete ban on the movie.

The plea was filed by advocate Raj Gaurav who accused the movie’s director and producer of manipulating and misrepresenting the Hindu epic Ramayana.

The latest, and hopefully the last time, Adipurush’s name topped the headlines for the wrong reasons was when the film’s director Om Raut kissed Kriti Sanon on the cheek to say goodbye at the Lord Venkateswara temple. Netizens trolled the two as Kriti is playing goddess Sita.
