The controversy was mainly because of the movie’s cringe-worthy dialogues and casting. Manoj Muntashir, who wrote the dialogues for this movie, is being ridiculed for the same. Here, we have some funniest and most embarrassing dialogues from the recently released movie ‘Adipurush’ for you:

Manoj Muntashir Receives Death Threats

Manoj Muntashir received death threats after the release of the film. He was then provided security by Mumbai Police. His latest statement about Lord Hanuman received a lot of flak online.

In an interview with AajTak, Muntashir said, "Woh (Bajrangbali) Shri Ram ki tarah baat nahi karte. Bajrangbali daarshanik baatein nahi kartein. Bajrangbali bhagwaan nahi, bhakt hai. Humne unko bhagwaan banaya baad mein kyuki unki bhakti mein wo power tha (He doesn't talk like Shri Ram. Lord Hanuman doesn't talk in a philosophical manner. Lord Hanuman is not God but a devotee. We made him God later because his devotion had that power)."

After Muntashir's statement, All India Cine Workers Association President Suresh Shyam Lal Gupta wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, thereby demanding an immediate ban on the film for 'hurting religious sentiments'.
