The teaser of Om Raut’s upcoming mythological drama ‘Adipurush’ continues to face backlash for its poor representation and appearance of characters like Lord Ram, Hanuman and Raavan. However, Om Raut insists that there is nothing wrong with his film and that people will realise that after watching the whole film in January.
He told India Today, “We have not done anything wrong in this film. People are getting a few things wrong here. With this film, we want to introduce the story of Lord Ram to the world. We want to spread his teachings among the youth. If we represent it in a way through which we can reach the new generation, then only we can talk to the new generation. Is there any less belief in this because of this? No. We have maintained the sanctity of everything.”
Talking about Raavan, Om Raut said, “The Ravana that we saw earlier was an artistic representation of the evil that Ravana was. My Ravana is demonic too, but in today’s time, if I picturise Ravana like this, then that is it. If you say, that I have changed his colour, then I disagree. It’s the same colour, it’s the colour of religion.”
The filmmaker also shared how people have misunderstood a flying creature in the film as Pushpak Viman. He said, “Who said it is Pushpak Viman? We have just shown 95 seconds of our film. We are noting everything that is being said about the film. But when the film will release in January, I will not disappoint anyone.”
