Adipurush: Court raps Censor Board. Prabhas' Adipurush is surrounded by various controversies and the latest being Allahabad High Court hearing the petitions filed against the film seeking its ban. Already the court found fault with the makers and directed cowriter Manoj Muntashir Shukla to be made a party to the case and asked him to respond within a week.
The court continued its hearing for the second day and it made strong remarks and comments against the Censor Board. The bench of Justice Rajesh Singh Chauhan and Justice Shree Prakash Singh said sacred texts such as Quran, and Bible should not be touched and encroached upon in such a way.
It made hard-hitting comments saying "If we will shut our mouths today then you know what will happen? These incidents are increasing day by day. I saw a movie wherein Lord Shankar was Shankar was shown running with his Trishul in a very funny manner. Now, these things will be showcased?... The filmmakers earn money as films do business."
The bench continued "Suppose if you make even a short documentary on the Quran, depicting wrong things, then you will see what will happen...However, I may once again clarify that it is not about any one religion. It is by chance that this issue is concerned with Ramayana, otherwise, Court belongs to all religions."
the Bench questioned "Does anyone imagine the religious characters to be in existence in the way they are shown in the movie? The attire worn by the characters in the movie, do we imagine our gods to be like this? Ramcharitmanas is a sacred text, people recite it before leaving their homes and you depict it in such a pathetic way?"
