Om
Raut's
upcoming
film
Adipurush,
featuring
Prabhas
and
Saif
Ali
Khan,
has
lately
been
in
the
news
for
a
string
of
controversies.
When
the
makers
of
the
film
released
the
teaser
of
the
film,
it
was
heavily
criticised
for
the
poor
VFX
and
inauthentic
character
designs.

Further,
a
section
of
people
even
demanded
a
ban
on
the
film
for
alleged
misrepresentation
of
Ramayan.
Sunil
Lahri,
who
essayed
the
iconic
role
of
Lord
Ram's
brother
Laxman
in
Ramanand
Sagar's
popular
show
Ramayan,
recently
shared
his
views
on
the
teaser
of
Adipurush
in
an
interaction
with
DNA.
He
told
the
tabloid
that
after
watching
the
film's
teaser,
his
views
at
present,
are
neutral.
"They
have
just
introduced
the
characters
and
their
personalities.
So
till
now,
they
haven't
conveyed
anything
that
really
irked
me.
I
think
ki
zabadasti
ki
controversy
create
ki
ja
rahi
hai...
to
popularise
the
film," Lahri
told
the
publication.
He
continued,
"Itna
main
zaroor
kehna
chahuga
makers
aur
audiences
ko,
ki
'nonsense
will
not
be
tolerated
anymore
in
this
country.'
Humari
jo
bhavnaye
hai,
humare
jo
dharam
se
related
hai,
jinki
hum
pooja
karte
hai,
aaradhyan
maante
hai.
Unke
prati
koi
bhi
negativity
ki,
toh
ab
desh
bardasht
nahi
karega.
Unhone
phele
bhi
dikha
diya,
aage
bhi
yehi
hoga.
Yeh
us
zaamane
ka
Bharat
nahi
raha,
ab
united
ho
gaye
hai
log,
and
I
think
this
unity
is
positive
and
beneficial
for
the
country."
While
the
actor
admitted
that
he
found
all
the
characters'
looks
'ajeeb',
he
also
added
that
unlike
historical
figures,
there's
no
frame
of
reference
to
design
these
'idols',
who
can
be
differentiated
in
images
mostly
through
their
ornaments
and
weapons,
and
not
by
their
faces.
He
told
DNA,
"We
all
have
an
image
set
in
our
minds,
and
we
have
grown
up
watching
a
particular
reference
to
Lord
Ram
all
these
years.
So,
they
have
tried
to
break
the
conventional
image
of
Raavan.
This
is
an
individual
take
of
a
creative
person,
and
as
an
artist,
everyone
has
a
right
to
present
their
interpretation
of
a
story."
Featuring
Prabhas,
Saif
Ali
Khan,
Kriti
Sanon
and
Sunny
Singh
in
pivotal
roles,
Adipurush
is
slated
to
release
in
multiple
languages
on
January
12,
2023.
