They criticized and rejected the beard and buzz cut of the demon king, Lankesh, played by Saif Ali Khan.
Later, work on VFX was done with a better quality of visuals as is apparent in the main trailer which was released earlier this yea and the second trailer which was unveiled at the pre-release event.

Legal Action Against Adipurush
'Adipurush', starring Prabhas and Kriti Sanon, has been met with criticism shortly after its release. In a public interest lawsuit (PIL), National President of the Hindu Sena Vishnu Gupta argues that the film insults Hinduism by making fun of the Ramayana and its central characters—the Hindu gods Ram, Sita and Hanuman.
This South Actress Was Supposed To Play Janaki In Om Raut's Film
Kriti Sanon's portrayal of Janaki in 'Adipurush' is winning a lot of praise, however, she was not the director's first choice. A DNA report states that Keerthy Suresh was the first option for the film's lead role.
Moviegoers Are 'Disappointed' With The Dialouges Of The Film
Aipurush has opened up with mixed reviews with bad VFX and 'tapori dialogues' being the main weak points of the film. Netizens are criticising dialogue writer Manoj Muntassir for dialogues that clearly do not gel with the story of Ramayana.
With these kind of Tapori dialogues,does Om Raut and Manoj Muntashir really thought they could pull it off with asthaa of Sanatanis.

Adipurush Increases Respect For Ramanand Sagar
Amit Bhatia of ABP News reviews the plot of the film as,"In the beginning the film doesn't seem like anything special...you don't connect with the film..but with the entry of Hanuman ji the film connects a little but not as much as you could connect with the Ramayana serial, any character you can connect with doesn't add up the way you expect and bad VFX spoils the fun of the film. If such graphics are made after spending so many crores then one wonders how Ramanand Sagar did so much in that era and made Amazing graphics. The way some dialogues are spoken, they surprise you, the faith angle has disappeared in the film, the war scenes look like zombies are fighting. Maybe there is an attempt to give hollywood touch but bollywood touch is missing."
