Prabhas’ highly anticipated pan-India project, Adipurush, was released last month and unfortunately failed to meet expectations at the box office. The film received a barrage of negative reviews, with audiences outright rejecting it. Many cited shoddy visual effects, director Om Raut’s lack of vision, and subpar dialogues as the main reasons for its failure.
The dialogue writer for Adipurush, Manoj Muntashir, faced severe criticism for the substandard dialogues in the film. Particularly, common people and those with strong religious beliefs felt deeply offended and directed their anger towards Muntashir after watching the movie.
Numerous individuals believed that the writer and director had made unnecessary changes to the Ramayana, and the dialogues in particular were deemed as disrespectful. Shockingly, some people even issued death threats against Manoj Muntashir for his objectionable dialogues that hurt their religious sentiments.
Initially, Muntashir was defensive about his work on the film, even though the production team had already replaced the objectionable dialogues. However, after more than 20 days since the film’s release, he has now offered a sincere apology to those who were hurt by his work. Taking to Twitter, he shared a post seeking unconditional forgiveness.
In his tweet, he expressed, “I acknowledge that people’s emotions were hurt by Adipurush. With folded hands, I extend my unconditional apologies. May Prabhu Bajrang Bali keep us united and grant us the strength to serve our sacred Sanatan and our great nation.”
