A 1.46-minute teaser of the film was launched on Sunday in Ayodhya, and has been receiving blowback since then.

The approach through which Ravana has been depicted is totally mistaken and condemnable. Through the media, we demand a direct ban on the movie, priest Satyendra Das, who was right here on the event of the annual Vijay Rath Yatra, informed the media.

He mentioned ‘Adipurush’, a giant finances adaptation of the Ramayana and directed by Om Raut of ‘Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior’ fame, doesn’t present Lord Rama and Hanuman as talked about within the epic both and therefore goes towards their dignity.

BJP MP Brij Bhushan Singh, who was right here to attend a separate ‘Shastra Puja’, mentioned it seems that such controversies are being created intentionally.

Making a movie just isn’t against the law. They needs to be made however creating deliberate controversies to hog limelight is inappropriate, he mentioned.

With a beard, fierce eyes and a buzz reduce, he appears barbarism personified and lots of referred to as out the filmmakers for the obvious Islamisation of Ravana.
