Adipurush writer Manoj Muntashir is no stranger to controversy. Adipurush starring Young Rebel star Prabhas and Kriti Sanon is an adaptation of the Hindu epic Ramayana, which is produced on a budget of Rs 500 crore, the movie, helmed by Om Raut of Tanhaji fame has been struggling at the box office after delivering a strong opening.
Manoj Muntashir on Saturday took to Twitter to render and unconditional apology for ruining Ramayan via his writing in the movie Adipurush.
Manoj Muntashir tweeted: I apologize unconditionally with folded hands. May Bajranj Bali bless us all, and gives us the strength to serve our holy eternal and great country by being one and unbroken.
One of the netizen said: Too late When the film flopped, the theaters started getting down from the house, when there was nothing left to lose, when the anger of the public itself cooled down, then you are apologizing. This work should have been done within a few days of the release of the film but then you were busy counting the collections and rubbing salt in the wound by defending the film. Now the Adipurush’ collections have stopped completely, so they are apologizing. Well, better late than never.
Another netizen wrote: You apologized when all the swagger was loosened. When our country was angry on Prabhas and Kriti Sanon film Adipurush, you were shamelessly showing the box office collection by saying ‘Thank you my country’. After that the makers of Adipurush were shamelessly defending their crimes You used to think that Hindu society is stupid. When the film has come out from the theatre, you have not been able to recover the cost, then you are apologizing. By the way, is this apology for the crimes committed in Adipurush or is it to avoid your next projects not to flop?.
