While urging everyone to “avoid” the film, he said that the way in which Ramayana has been presented in it is “completely wrong”. Karan further said despite excellent actors, the film “failed”.

3. Actor Mukesh Khanna (SHAKTIMAN) called ‘Adipurush’ a “bhayanak mazaak” with Ramayana and blamed Om Raut for “stuffing” it with “nuisance”. He also said, they made Raavan look like a cheap smuggler (Dressing and Hair style) and Meghnath is reduced to look like a WWF wrestler.
Arun Govil, who played Sri Ram in Ramanand Sagar’s ‘Ramayan’, has reacted to the same and said that he doesn’t support such kind of language in a film based on Ramayan.
