'How You Conceived Such Dialogues': Ramanand Sagar's Son To 'Adipurush' Writer Manoj Muntashir

Speaking with news agency ANI, Prem Sagar said, “Manoj Muntashir is well-informed about Hinduism. I don't understand how he even conceived such dialogues in the film. It might be a misjudgement that the younger generation would like it. But you can't do this with the audience. Don't say it is based on Valmiki Ramayan, give it any other name. Make it a fantasy film. But if you're making Ramayan then you cannot hurt the sentiments. People watch this with devotion.”

He also added, "I have seen the clips of the movie and had a lot of interaction with people like Sunil Lehri (who played Laxman in Ramanand Sagar's 'Ramayan'), so some problem is there. I don't even want to watch the film. Ravan was very knowledgeable and you are blackening the golden Lanka (sone ki Lanka), and his look with 5 heads up and 5 heads down. But I am so happy that they've realized their mistake and realisation is itself a very big thing...I don't know what happened this time. It may be that sometimes nature makes such a thing happen that it distracts the intellect."

Since its release last week, Adipurush has been facing criticism over controversial lines including 'marega bete', 'bua ka bagicha hain kya' and 'jalegi tere baap ki'. TAdipurush, which is a dramatic retelling of Ramayana, has been directed by Om Raut.

Earlier, writer Manoj Muntashir told ANI, "Our aim was to present the true heroes of Sanatan to our younger generation. There is an objection to 5 dialogues and they will be changed. If people are not liking some parts, then it's our responsibility to fix them." He also tweeted that a few lines in the film will be revised and the new version will be added within this week.

Adipurush stars Prabhas as Lord Ram, Kriti Sanon as Goddess Sita, Sunny Singh as Laxman?and Saif Ali Khan as Ravan
