''Adipurush is garnering an overwhelming response across the world and is conquering the hearts of audiences across all ages. Making this visual spectacle a memorable cinematic experience, the team decides to make alterations to the film’s dialogues – Valuing the input of the public and the audience.''

This decision is a testament that in spite of unstoppable collections at the Box Office ,the team is committed and nothing is beyond the sentiments of their audiences and harmony at large 🙏''

Netizens had slammed the makers for putting such cheap dialogue in the mythological film based on Ramayana. Slamming the makers, one user tweeted, "*Lanka Dahan Scene* Ravana's son lights up Hanuman's Tail: Jali na... Jiski jalti hai... Bajrang: Kapda tere baap ka. Tel tere baap ka. Aag bhi tere baap ki. Toh jalegi bhi tere baap ki. The makers are proud of these Chapri dialogues? They want kids to see this?"

Manoj Muntashir Shukla's reaction:

Manoj, who has penned the dialogues for the movie, has reacted to the backlash. Tweeting in Hindi, Muntashir wrote,''I wrote dialogues of more than 4000 lines in Adipurush, some sentiments got hurt on 5 lines.''

''In those hundreds of lines, where Shri Ram was glorified, Maa Sita's chastity was described, some praise was also due for them,which I don't know why I did not get. My own brothers wrote indecent words for me on social media. The same, my own, for whose respected mothers I read poems many times on TV, referred to my mother with indecent words. I kept thinking, there can be differences, but where did my brothers suddenly get so bitter that they forgot to see Shri Ram who considered every mother as his mother.''
