Adipurush Row: Vikram Bhatt lately requested if Prabhas-Kriti Sanon starrer epic-drama is Ramayan or not.

Adipurush: Vikram Bhatt lately gave his unfiltered views on Om Raut’s Adipurush. The film primarily based on Valmiki’s Ramayan is being criticised over the depiction of historical characters that are linked to individuals’s religion and beliefs. Bhatt’s grandfather Vijay Bhatt had made Ramrajya in 1943 which was the one movie that Mahatama Gandhi noticed. Vikram, in an interplay with Times of India mentioned, “First of all, I am confused whether Adipurush is the Ramayan or not. I’m told that in the beginning of the disclaimer that this is not the Ramayan, it is inspired by the Ramayan. At the same time, they want to keep one seat for Hanuman Ji because wherever there is Ramayan, Hanuman Ji is there. So, whether it is Ramayana or not is for the makers to decide.”

VIKRAM BHATT SAYS FILMS ON RAMAYAN ARE ABOUT FAITH AND BELIEFS

Speaking about movies primarily based on religion and beliefs, the filmmaker opined, “I think making these kinds of films is not about entertainment or worldwide numbers. All an all, these kinds of films are about belief, faith and worship. You know how people in the olden days used to build temples of their favourite deities? It was not for any profit. It was their way of worship and gratitude. And I think when you’re, in a way, calling people to worship then it has to be about worship.” Recalling his grandfather’s movie primarily based on Lord Ram’s return from exile, Vikram wrote on social media, “It was a testament to his faith in his God and it was this same faith that he held close till the last day of his life. Some films go beyond mere entertainment. They go into the realm of deep faith and worship.”

Adipurush launched on June 16, 2023 and stars Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, Sunny Singh, Devdatta Nage, Saif Ali Khan and Sonal Chauhan in essential roles.
