New Delhi: The Thane police are on the look out for a man who allegedly uploaded a social media post comparing Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde with a character from the recently released film 'Adipurush', an official told news agency PTI on Friday.
Prabhas and Kriti Sanon starrer 'Adipurush' turned out to be a treasure trove for memes as it got bashed for its 'Tapori' dialogues, funny sequences and extremely poor VFX. As soon as vieweres took to theatres to watch the first show of the much-awaited mythological drama, Twitter got flooded with dialogues and video clips from the film, that went viral within no time. Following suit, a Twitter user named Abhay also shared an image, comparing a character from the mythological drama to Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde.
Tweeting the picture, he wrote, "Didn't know Eknath Shinde was in Adipurush".
The tweet was also tagged to @mieknathshinde, #Adipurush#AdipurushTickets, #AdipurushOnJune16, #AdipurushReview, @Saif Ali Khan

He was asked to share his contact details but the person did not do so, the Thane police official told PTI.
The much-discussed 'Adipurush,' a retelling of the Ramayana, premiered on Friday to heightened emotions in many places with enormous audiences, a seat dedicated for Lord Hanuman, and a report of a man allegedly getting beaten up in Hyderabad for objecting to the movie.
The ABP Live review of the film reads as, "One of the most crucial elements of a period drama or mythological movie is the style of speech used to set up the tone and era. The movie fails miserably in that department, to the point where even the scary and grave sequences are met with giggles. It is not on the shoulders of those watching. During a duel between Bali and Sugriv in one of the scenes, Lakshmana (Sunny Singh) points towards the latter and says, ‘Ye toh fisaddi hai’. As it appears, the word implies one's incompetence; if so, a lot of viewers are probably pointing at the screen showcasing 'Adipurush' and voicing the same thoughts (just saying).
There are plenty of these cringe-worthy dialogues in the three-hour movie, making it a gold mine for fresh memes. To one's surprise, at the point where Bajrangbali's tail starts to catch fire, he says to Indrajeet (Raavan’s son), ‘Kapda tere baap ka, tel tere baap ka, Aag tere baap ki, jalegi bhi tere baap ki’."
'Adipurush' stars Pabhas, Kriti Sanon, Saif Ali Khan, Sunny Singh and Devdatta Nage. The film released in theatres worlwide on June 16.
