Adipurush Controversy Ignites: Dialogue Writer Manoj Muntashir Seeks Protection Amid Backlash!

Om Raut's highly anticipated cinematic spectacle, Adipurush, has been on the receiving end of an unexpected storm of negative responses. The film, disappointingly falling short of audiences' expectations, has been called out for its subpar VFX and dialogue quality. The movie's dialogues, penned by Manoj Muntashir Shukla, have particularly drawn flak for allegedly "mangling and belittling" the revered epic, Ramayan. Amid the escalating backlash, Muntashir has now sought the safeguarding assistance of the Mumbai Police.

Manoj Muntashir Calls for Police Intervention

On June 18, Muntashir announced potential amendments to some of the contentious dialogues in Adipurush. Following widespread criticism, India Today reports that the dialogue writer has sought the protection of the Mumbai Police. With the rising controversy around Adipurush, Muntashir has expressed fears for his safety.

The Mumbai Police’s Stand

The Mumbai Police is now deliberating over Muntashir's plea and is yet to take a decision on whether to provide him with security.

A Brief Insight into Adipurush

Om Raut's directorial venture, Adipurush, is a mythical narrative inspired by Valmiki's Ramayan. The film, which made its theatrical debut on June 16 amidst much fanfare, includes Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan in the lead roles. The film's budget is reported to have been a staggering 500 crore INR. However, it has been met with substantial disapproval from both critics and audience members. In light of the backlash, the filmmakers have committed to revising some of the disputed dialogues.

The controversy surrounding Adipurush, especially its dialogues, has set the entertainment industry abuzz. As Manoj Muntashir seeks police protection amidst the tumult, the narrative of this epic drama continues to evolve. The fallout from the film's perceived missteps serves as a potent reminder of the critical role of accurate representation in storytelling, especially when handling revered cultural narratives like Ramayan.
