After the film’s recent teaser launch, many were disappointed with the ‘poor graphics’ and costume choices of the characters. Viewers took to social media to voice their disapproval. In fact, Madhya Pradesh’s Home Minister Narottam Mishra made a statement about the teaser containing ‘objectionable scenes’ of Lord Hanuman in leather clothing. The minister said he has written to Raut to remove those scenes, claiming that they hurt the religious sentiments.
Also starring Kriti Sanon as Sita, Sunny Singh as Lakshman and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh, Adipursh will release on January 12, next year.
