Prabhas, Kriti Sanon Starrer 'Adipurush' 3D Teaser Receives Praise
'Adipurush' stars Prabhas and Kriti Sanon in the lead, besides Saif Ali Khan in negative roles. The film has been one of the most-anticipated releases of South superstar Prabhas.
New Delhi: 'Adipurush' has been courting controversy since its teaser release on Monday. From memes and trolls around the portrayal of Saif Ali Khan as Ravana to the film facing legal action for 'incorrect' portrayal of Hindu deities, the negative controversy around the film has generated a lot of buzz. Recently, the film has come under criticism from Madhya Pradesh's Home Minister Narottam Mishra. Narottam Mishra has threatened legal action against the makers of 'Adipurush' for the 'wrong' depiction of Hindu deities.
Narottam Mishra, who is also the spokesperson of the Madhya Pradesh Government, told PTI, "I have seen the trailer of Adipurush. There are objectionable scenes in it. The dresses and look of Hindu deities as seen in the trailer were not acceptable. Hanuman ji is shown wearing leather, whereas the description (in the scriptures) of the deity's costume is different… These are scenes that hurt religious sentiments. I am writing a letter to Om Raut to remove all such scenes from the film. If not removed, we will consider legal action." The minister also cited a religious text in support of his claims, noting the devotional hymn Hanuman Chalisa also describes the Lord Hanuman's attire differently than the kind shown in the teaser.

Recently, in an informal interaction with the media, the makers shared 'Adipurush's teaser in the 3D format which looked great. The visuals of the 3D teaser looked quite engaging in comparison to the 2D one which is available on YouTube.
'Adipurush' is slated to release on January 12, 2023.
