Amid the ongoing controversy over the movie Adipurush, the All India Cine Workers Association on Saturday wrote to Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Mumbai Police demanding registration of a case against the producer, director and writer of the movie.

The letter sought the filing of a First Information Report (FIR) against producers Bhushan Kumar, T-series, and others, director Om Raut and Writer Manoj Muntashir of the film.

"This letter is to draw your attention towards a Movie called Adipurush which was released on 16th June 2023 in the theatres across India, have been Hurting the Sentiments of Hindu religion and the people who belief and pray Bhagwan Ram, Maa Sita and Ram Sevak Bhagwan hanuman," the letter said.

"The Movie running in the theatres continues to Depict the Image of Bhagwan Ram and entire Ramayan and the producers also want to make money selling discounted tickets across the Multiplexes, which will send a wrong message about our learning and faith the Ramayan, the Makers T-Series and the producers, Writer Manoj Muntasir and Director Om Raut have made a Mockery of Ramayan by twisting the Dialogues, the costumes and the story line (Characters) which sounds unacceptable to anybody and everybody," read the letter.

"Being a follower of Hinduism, the religious Sentiments of entire Hindu and Sanatan Dharma are hurt by the scenes, costumes and dialogues which is depicting a wrong image of the invincible and immortal God of Hindus," it further said.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Association President, Gupta, wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding an immediate ban on the film. He also demanded an FIR against Om Raut, writer Manoj Muntasir Shukla and the producers of the movie.

'Adipurush', which is a dramatic retelling of Ramayana, has been constantly under the scanner ever since the makers released the film.

From critics to reviewers, several people from across the country have expressed disappointment over the film's certain dialogues. Some of which include 'marega bete', 'bua ka bagicha hain kya' and 'jalegi tere baap ki'.

In the wake of such flak, the makers of 'Adipurush' revamped the dialogues. The film stars Prabhas as Lord Ram, Kriti as Goddess Sita, Sunny Singh as Laxman and Saif Ali Khan as Ravan.
