Ramanand Sagar’s son Prem Sagar also expressed his displeasure with Adipurush and told Live Hindustan, “Om Raut has tried to make a Marvel film. Papaji (Ramanand Sagar) did take some creative liberties while making Ramayana but he understood Lord Ram. He read various scriptures and then made a few changes but never messed around with facts.” Om Raut’s  _Adipurush_, which is bankrolled by T-Series and Retrophiles, also stars Saif Ali Khan, Kriti Sanon, Vatsal Sheth, Sunny Singh, Devdatta Nage, Sonal Chauhan, Tejaswini Pandit, Bijay Anand and others in prominent roles. On the other hand Manoj wrote on Twitter and mentioned that the makers of Adipurush have decided to revise and make changes in  some of the dialogues that have hurt sentiments of the Indian audiences. He wrote, “It is possible that in a three-hour film, I have written something different from your imagination for three minutes, but I could not know why you were in such a hurry to write eternal traitor on my forehead. Have you not heard the Jai Shri Ram song, didn’t you hear Shivoham or Ram Siya Ram? These praises of sanatan in Adipurush are also written by me. I have also written Teri Mitti and Desh Mere. 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 made _Adipurush_ for sanatan seva, which you are seeing in large numbers and I am sure you will see in future as well.” (With added inputs from PTI) Read all the  Latest News,  Trending News,  Cricket News,  Bollywood News,  India News and  Entertainment News here.
