Om Raut’s Adipurush was released in theatres on June 16, and it has been receiving criticism from all quarters. Recently, the 1987 TV Show Ramayan Actor Sunil Lahri also is not happy with the film. He is ‘shocked’ and ‘disappointed’ after watching the film.
The actor spoke to Indian Express and shared his reaction. He said, “I really cannot understand who were they catering to. Na narration, na story na characterisation. Sab kuch haywire hai. Different dikhane ke naam pe satyanash kar diya.” Further, the actor spoke about the characters in Adipurush.
Sunil questioned Saif Ali Khan’s look and compared it to Virat Kohli. He shared, “Ram and Lakshman didn’t have any differentiation, looked and behaved the same. Then Raavan was made into a blacksmith, where he is beating iron. What was the need? Meghnad is a man with tattoos and the hairstyle of these characters is obnoxious. Raavan has the same haircut as Virat Kohli. It’s a shame.” Sunil added, “Starting with Pushpak Viman, which Ravaan used. Uske jagah yaha chamgadar le ke aagaye. Ram is seen fighting the war on Hanuman’s shoulder, whereas Lord Indra bestowed a carriage for him. To make it look more dramatic, they have got Lakshman and Meghnad fighting in water, whereas it’s said that Meghnad used his power to disappear then.”
