After Chandrayaan-3’s landing, Prabhas starrer ‘Adipurush’ gets trolled for ‘Rs 600 crore budget'

After the successful launch of Chandrayaan 3, Prabhas and Kriti Sanon starrer ‘Adipurush’ has become the target of trolls again for its massive budget.

The Om Raut directorial was made on a reported budget of Rs 600 crores, while the precise budget for Chandrayaan-3 was reportedly Rs 615 crores. Netizens are criticisng the makers of ‘Adipurush’ for spending so much money on a film which ‘incited public backlash for showing a beloved text in poor light.’

One user wrote, ‘Adipurush ke Rs 600 cr, ISRO scientists ko de dena chahiye tha.’ Another said, ‘One more reason why celebrities should not be given so much importance. Give security to these scientists not these ‘superstars’.’ A user also commented, ‘It’s quite sad. Especially since Adipurush wasn’t a good product.’

For the unversed, people had opposed the release of the controversial film, ‘Adipurush’, in June for allegedly distorting the Hindu epic Ramayana and its characters in the movie.

Adipurush, an on-screen adaptation of the Ramayana, starred Prabhas as Ram, Kriti Sanon as Sita and Saif Ali Khan as Ravana.

Multiple film theatres across the country witnessed fierce protests. Videos on social media showed protestors calling for the film’s boycott while chanting slogans like ‘Murdabad,’ ‘Hindu dharma ka apmaan band karo (stop insulting Hindu dharma)’.

All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA) also wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting him to ‘stop screening’ of the movie.
