The makers of the film also announced that they will eliminate some dialogues that caused dissent in numerous regions of India. The film's director Raut and dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir Shukla spoke out in response to criticism that the film disrespected the epic Ramayan. Manoj Muntashir claimed in a tweet that despite authoring more than 4000 lines for Adipurush, sentiments were hurt "because of five lines."
Issuing a long statement on Twitter, Manoj Muntashir wrote, "I have no complaint with you, you were, are and will be my own. If we stand against each other, Sanatan will lose. We have created Adipurush for Sanatan Seva, which you are seeing in large numbers and I am sure you will see in future as well. Why this post? Because for me there is nothing greater than your feeling. I can give countless arguments in favor of my dialogues, but this will not reduce your pain. Me and the producer-director of the film have decided that some of the dialogues which are hurting you, we'll revise them, and they'll be added to the film this week. May Shri Ram bless you all!"
T-Series also released a statement that read as, "There's nothing beyond sentiments of audiences and harmony. Team Adipurush in respect of public opinion, revamps dialogues for unifying film experience."
Adipurush's visual effects have also drawn criticism. After the first look of the movie was released, the team had to put the project on hold while they addressed issues from the audience in the department. Prabhas plays Raghava in the epic Ramayana-inspired movie, which also stars Kriti Sanon as Janaki and Saif Ali Khan as Ravana. The film also features Sunny Singh and Devdatta Nage as Lakshman and Hanuman, respectively, and has a stated budget of Rs 500 crore.
