official
statement

"I've
been
made
aware
that
one
of
my
statements
during
an
interview,
has
caused
a
controversy
and
hurt
people's
sentiments.
This
was
never
my
intention
or
meant
that
way.
I
would
like
to
sincerely
apologise
to
everybody
and
withdraw
my
statement.
Lord
Ram
has
always
been
the
symbol
of
Righteousness
&
Heroism
for
me.
Adipurush
is
about
celebrating
the
victory
of
good
over
evil
and
the
entire
team
is
working
together
to
present
the
epic
without
any
distortions."
To
the
unversed,
Saif
Ali
Khan
had
stated
that
Raavan
will
be
shown
as
"humane"
in
Adipurush,
in
a
recent
interview.
The
actor
remarked
that
the
movie
will
justify
his
abduction
of
Sita
and
the
war
with
Ram,
as
revenge
for
what
was
done
to
his
sister,
Shurpanakha.
The
senior
actor
had
faced
severe
backlash
from
the
netizens
for
his
statement
on
Raavan.
Adipurush,
which
marks
pan-Indian
star
Prabhas's
first
onscreen
collaboration
with
Saif
Ali
Khan,
is
directed
by
Om
Raut.
The
movie,
which
is
based
on
the
epic
Ramayana,
is
being
simultaneously
made
in
Telugu,
Hindi,
Tamil,
Malayalam,
and
Kannada
languages,
in
3D
format.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
popular
Bollywood
actress
Kriti
Sanon
has
been
finalised
for
the
role
of
Sita
in
the
movie,
which
features
Prabhas
and
Saif
in
the
roles
of
Ram
and
Raavan,
respectively.
