Mumbai, June 24: The All India Cine Workers Association has written a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the Mumbai Police, demanding the registration of a case against the producer, director, and writer of the movie Adipurush. The letter, dated June 24, 2023, highlights concerns regarding the portrayal of Hindu deities and characters in the film, alleging that it has hurt religious sentiments.
The association expresses its dismay over the release of the movie Adipurush on June 16, 2023, in theaters across the country. They claim that the movie has hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus who hold deep reverence for Lord Ram, Goddess Sita, and Lord Hanuman.
According to the letter, the producers, T-Series, writer Manoj Muntasir, and director Om Raut, have allegedly distorted the dialogues, costumes, and storyline of the Ramayan, which is considered unacceptable by the followers of Hinduism. The association argues that the portrayal of these revered characters in a derogatory manner is an insult to the beliefs and faith of millions of Hindus.
