‘A mistake has been made, a big mistake has been made… I have learned a lot from this accident and it was a great learning process. I will be very careful from now on,' Manoj said. 

Manoj Muntashir says ‘Adipurush’ was a ‘mistake’; shares he left India after receiving death threats 

&lsquo;A mistake has been made, a big mistake has been made&hellip; I have learned a lot from this accident and it was a great learning process. I will be very careful from now on,' Manoj said.&nbsp;

Writer Manoj Muntashir Shukla has admitted that he made a mistake by writing Om Raut&rsquo;s &lsquo;Adipurush&rsquo;. He added that defending himself publicly in the immediate aftermath of the film&rsquo;s disastrous debut was the worst thing that he could&rsquo;ve done.
In a chat with AajTak, Manoj said, &lsquo;A mistake has been made, a big mistake has been made&hellip; I have learned a lot from this accident and it was a great learning process. I will be very careful from now on&rsquo;.
He added, &lsquo;I should not have spoken at that time. If people are angry with this, then their anger is justified.&rsquo;
Manoj Muntashir faced massive backlash for writing scenes in which Hanuman spoke in colloquialisms; these lines were altered following the film&rsquo;s release, but that didn&rsquo;t sway audience sentiment.
The writer further said that his family became concerned for his safety as he started receiving death threats following the film&rsquo;s release.
&lsquo;The world may consider you good and tomorrow it may be considered bad but for your family you are a hero,&rsquo; he said.
He also revealed that he moved abroad for some time and waited for the controversy to die down.
In conclusion, the writer said that he deserves a &lsquo;second chance&rsquo; on the strength of his past work, which includes the Hindi translation for the Telugu-language &lsquo;Baahubali&rsquo; blockbusters, and the hit tracks &lsquo;Teri Mitti&rsquo; and &lsquo;Desh Mere.&rsquo;
He said, &lsquo;I say this with great pride that today in this country you cannot celebrate Ram Navami, Diwali, Dussehra without my songs.&rsquo;
In earlier interviews, Manoj also quoted from the Ramayana and explained why he&rsquo;d made certain creative choices in the film.
&lsquo;Adipurush&rsquo; failed to recover its massive reported budget of Rs 600 crore. The main cast &ndash; Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan and Kriti Sanon &ndash; didn&rsquo;t utter a word about the debacle, but Manoj allowed himself to be interviewed several times.

SC junks PIL seeks revocation of CBFC certificate of 'Adipurush'

The apex court said that it will not intervene especially when the censor board has cleared the controversial film.

&nbsp;The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a PIL seeking revocation of the film certificate of the controversial movie "Adipurush", saying cinematic representation may not be an exact replica of text.
A bench of Justices S K Kaul and Sudhanshu Dhulia said the film has got a certificate from the censor board and it would not be appropriate for this court to interfere.
The top court said such matters should not be entertained by courts.
"Why should we entertain under Article 32 of the Constitution of India. Everybody is now touchy on everything. Every time you come to the Supreme Court. Should we scrutinise everything? The level of tolerance for films, books these days going down,&rdquo; the bench observed.
The top court was hearing a plea filed by advocate Mamta Rani seeking revocation of film certificate of the movie for allegedly distorting sacred texts.

It was hearing separate petitions of Kuldeep Tiwari and Naveen Dhawan seeking a ban on the movie.
The high court had ordered director Om Raut, producer Bhushan Kumar, and dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir to appear before it on July 27. It has also directed the central government to constitute a five-member committee to give its view on the film as to whether it had hurt the feelings of the public.
&nbsp;In an order, it had also directed the government to review the decision of granting of certificate to the movie.
The high court had said the secretary of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and chairman of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) will file their personal affidavits apprising it as to whether the guidelines for certification of the film for public exhibition has been followed in letter and spirit.

'Adipurush': Nepal court lifts ban on Hindi films; Kathmandu mayor irked by decision | more details here

Kathmandu Mayor Balendra Shah said he will defy the Nepal court's order in favour of screening Hindi movies. 'The court and the government are both the slaves of India,' Shah said in the Facebook post.&nbsp;

Nepal court lifted ban on Hindi films, including Prabhas starrer 'Adipurush' on June 22. It asked authorities to not halt screening of the movies which have been passed by the country's censor board.
Kathmandu mayor Balendra Shah, &nbsp;who had imposed a ban on 'Adipurush' and other Hindi films following a controversial dialogue in the Om Raut directorial, is irked by this decision.
He has said that he's ready to face any punishment but he'll not allow the film's screening as the matter pertains to 'Nepal's sovereignity and independence'.
In a Facebook post, Balendra Shah said that he would not 'abide by the court&rsquo;s order'.
'The film&rsquo;s writer said that Nepal was under India,this clearly shows India&rsquo;s ill intention. To term this as a stunt by the Nepal government and to issue an order by the court in favour of screening the movie means, to accept that Nepal was once under India&rsquo;s rule, the court and the government are both the slaves of India,' Shah said in the post.&nbsp;
For the unversed, one of the dialogues in 'Adipurush' mentioned Sita (played by Kriti Sanon) as 'India&rsquo;s daughter'. Sita, also referred to as Janaki, is believed by many to have been born in Janakpur in southeast Nepal.
'Adipurush', produced by T-Series, Retrophiles and UV Creations, also stars Saif Ali Khan, Sunny Singh, and Devdatta Nage.

T-Series has confirmed new version of film is being screened with alteration in dialogues.

Om Raut&rsquo;s &lsquo;Adipurush&rsquo; has been facing protests over its dialogues ever since its release. Now, the movie&rsquo;s producer T-Series has confirmed to Indian Express that a new version of the movie is being screened in theatres.
In a tweet shared by a viewer, the contentious dialogue by Bajrang saying, &lsquo;Kapda tere baap ka, tel tere baap ka, aag bhi tere baap ki, aur jalegi bhi tere baap ki&rsquo; has been altered. The word &lsquo;baap&rsquo; has now been replaced with Lanka. So, the dialogue now sounds like, &lsquo;Kapda teri Lanka ka, tel teri Lanka ka, aag bhi teri Lanka ki, aur jalegi bhi teri Lanka hi.&rsquo;
Tu andar kaise ghusa&hellip; tu jaanta bhi hai kaun hoon main, has been replaced by, Tum andar kaise ghuse&hellip; tum jaante bhi ho kaun hoon main.
Jo hamari behno&hellip; unki Lanka laga denge, has been replaced by, Jo hamari behno&hellip; unki Lanka mein aag laga denge.
Mere ek sapole ne tumhare iss sheshnaag ko lamba kar diya&hellip; bhara pada hai, has been changed to, Mere ek sapole ne tumhare iss sheshnaag ko samapt kar diya&hellip; bhara pada hai. Many netizens had said that some lines in the movie, which is based on the Hindu epic Ramayana, didn&rsquo;t respect the sanctity of the source material.
After facing backlash, director Om Raut, co-writer Manoj Muntashir, and producers T-Series and UV Creations had promised to alter the language of some contentious dialogues in order to respect public sentiment.
A day after release, Muntashir was asked about the dialogues in an interview with the Republic, and he said, &lsquo;It is not an error. It is a very meticulous thought process that has gone into writing the dialogues for Bajrang Bali and for all the characters. We have made it simple because we have to understand one thing if there are multiple characters in a film, all cannot speak the same language. There has to be a kind of diversion, a kind of division.&rsquo;
A day after that, he told Aaj Tak that &lsquo;Adipurush&rsquo; isn&rsquo;t an adaptation of the Ramayana, but is &lsquo;inspired&rsquo; by it.

According to a report on Sacnilk.com,&nbsp;Prabhas starrer &lsquo;Adipurush&rsquo; recorded just ₹10.80 crore in all languages in India on day 5 as per early estimates.

The free fall seems to be a result of the negative word of mouth against the film. &lsquo;Adipurush&rsquo; has been criticised for its dialogues and poor VFX.
Dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir has said that the makers would &lsquo;revise some of the dialogues&rsquo; after facing backlash and the changes will be incorporated in the movie in a week.
The film has been criticised by actors of the popular TV show &lsquo;Ramayan&rsquo; - Arun Govil, Sunil Lahri, Dipika Chikhlia, and &lsquo;Mahabharat's Mukesh Khanna.
All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding a ban on &lsquo;Adipurush&rsquo;. The trade organisation called the film a &lsquo;complete disaster of our faith in Shri Ram and Ramayan&rsquo;.

Manoj Muntashir reportedly said that Hanuman is not a god, but people made him a god because his devotion was so powerful.

Manoj Muntashir reportedly said that Hanuman is not a god, but people made him a god because his devotion was so powerful.

The controversy surrounding the movie 'Adipurush' has snowballed into a bigger political row.
Congress and Aam Aadmi Party leaders have targeted the BJP over a comment made by 'Adipurush' dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir. He reportedly said that Hanuman is not a god, but people made him a god because his devotion was so powerful.
Reacting to this, Aam Aadmi Party's Sanjay Singh asked whether the BJP CMs who gave their blessing to 'Adipurush' agree with Muntashir, and will ban Hanuman Chalisa now.
Congress leader Digvijaya Singh said that the RSS considers Ram a "great man", but not an avatar of god, and Muntashir appears to be from the same school of thought.
&nbsp;

The Association also sought the filing of an FIR against director Om Raut, writer Manoj Shukla, and producers of the film.

Addressing the criticism &lsquo;Adipurush&rsquo; is receiving, Om Raut said, &lsquo;Ramayana is so large that it is impossible for anybody to understand.

Om Raut&rsquo;s &lsquo;Adipurush&rsquo;, starring Prabhas and Kriti Sanon, is facing massive backlash ever since its release over its poor VFX and cringe dialogues. However, the film is doing great business at the box office having surpassed Rs 200 mark globally within the first two days of its release. Now, the director has addressed complaints about the changes that have been made to the Ramayana&rsquo;s story in the film. In an interview with Republic, the filmmaker said that despite the negative reviews, audiences at the cinema hall have been chanting &lsquo;Jai Shri Ram&rsquo; during the screenings, and this response has left him feeling incredibly happy and proud. He said, &lsquo;What is more important is the type of response that the film is getting at the box office. I&rsquo;m very happy to say that we are going for an unprecedented number of day one of the global box office.&rsquo; Adipurush, which is made on a budget of Rs 600 crore, earned Rs 140 crore globally on its opening day. He said, &lsquo;If I kind of sit down and tell you that I have understood the drama, I think it will be a serious error, because nobody, I feel, has the capacity to understand Ramayana.&rsquo; He added, &lsquo;Whatever Ramayana that I have understood, whatever little bit you know, it&rsquo;s like a squirrel&rsquo;s contribution. That little bit that I have understood of the Ramayana is something that I&rsquo;ve tried to portray onto celluloid.&rsquo; The director said that the version of the Ramayana that he grew up watching on television, told a larger story. However, his mythological drama focuses specifically on one section of the Ramayana, namely the Yuddha Kanda. He said, &lsquo;Ramayana is so large that it is impossible for anybody to understand. If they say that you understand Ramayana, they are fools, or they are lying.&rsquo; &lsquo;Adipurush&rsquo; was released in theatres worldwide on June 16.
