While the teaser itself also received massive flak from viewers ever since its release, for the poor VFX and CGI sequences, the matter has now escalated further and activists have filed a plea in a Delhi court against the release of the film in theatres.
Citing the plea details, the outlets reported, that the defendants have hurt the ‘religious, cultural, historical and civilizational sentiments’ of the plaintiff and Hindus by “depiction of Hindu gods Lord Ram and Lord Hanuman in a very unwarranted and inaccurate way in the teaser of Adipurush.”
“That prima facie the
teaser or promo of the movie is so atrocious wicked and diabolical that it along with the pursuant movie which is to be released on January 12, 2023, should be outrightly banned in its present form in the interest of religious feelings, sentiments and aspirations of Hindus of India and elsewhere,” the plea demanded.Related: ‘Adipurush’ teaser gets brutally trolled by social users
