Soon after Kriti dropped the post, her supporters, however, attacked the movie and her for being in it. An Instagram user commented, "No matter how many crores this movie earns, this movie won’t be an epic hit. People might go to watch the movie coz of the love they have towards Ramayana and the story. In return they have received Trash and you all have made a fool of public . This movie might earn even 600 crores and recover the cost but it won’t be an epic hit . It’s a joke. So stop sharing this nonsense," another user wrote, "Congratulations on making money despite offending people’s feelings," a netizen commented, "Most of the comments are negative...then dekh kaun raha he ,i don't know...as an actress I like your acting...but you shouldn't do this film," others also dropped similar comments.

Adipurush Controversy:

Made on a massive budget of Rs 600 crore, the mythological flick Adipurush hit the theatres on June 16, 2023. The film, based on the epic Ramayana, opened to a disappointing response from the audience as well as the critics. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh dubbed Prabhas and Kriti Sanon-starrer a 'disappointment' and gave the film 1.5 stars. The controversy surrounding the film sparked a number of demonstrations around the nation and forced the filmmakers to make some adjustments to the movie after it was released.

However, the first weekend saw record-breaking box office receipts, mostly because to Prabhas' devoted fan base and the movie's universal appeal. Adipurush failed Monday test at the BO as the film saw a major fall by 75 percent.

All India Cine Workers Association Writes Letter To PM Modi

On Tuesday, 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'.

As cited by news agency ANI, the letter read, "All Indian Cine Workers Association demands ban on screening the movie Adipurush. This movie's screenplay and dialogues are clearly defaming the image of Lord Ram and Lord Hanuman. Adipurush movie is hurting religious sentiments of Hindus and Sanatan Dharma. Prabhu Shri Ram is a God for everyone in India not matter what religious faith one comes from, this movie depicts Lord Ram and even Ravan who looks like a character of a video game, with dialogues hurting every Indian in the country and across the globe. We request Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji order to stop screening this movie and immediately order a ban of Adipurush screening in the theatres and OT platforms in the future."
