Adipurush, starring Prabhas, was just released to much anticipation. On the large screen, everyone was eager to rediscover the grandeur of the ancient epic Ramayana. To everyone's surprise, Adipurush was a modern retelling of the Ramayana. Many people criticized the producers for Hanuman's awkward language and the cringe-worthy portrayal of Ravan. In their opinion, the movie is not the Ramayana.
Adipurush has been marketed by the film's creators as the contemporary retelling of the Ramayana. However, they are shifting their position as a result of the unfavorable response. Adipurush was inspired by the Ramayana, not an adaptation, according to the film's writer Manoj Muntashir.
Adipurush is the name of the movie, Manoj said in a recent interview. Let me be clear: It is inspired by the Ramayana, not an adaptation. The same is included in the film's disclaimer, too. Although we are aware that the Ramayana has a major influence on our movie, we are clear that we are not producing the Ramayana. Not even Sampoorna Ramayana is being produced. Our movie only draws influence from the legendary epic Yudh Khaand. Because they changed their statements in reaction to a critical response, the creators are now drawing even more ire from online users.
