One of this year’s most eagerly awaited movies Adipurush released last Friday and has been heavily criticised ever since. Despite having a good opening at the box office, poor word of mouth and bad reviews have led to a significant drop on the fifth day. Not just the general public but many celebrities have come forward to express their disappointment in Adipurush. Most have slammed Om Raut for distorting the epic Ramayana.
Telugu and Tamil actress Maadhavi Latha feels that blaming the director alone is not fair. According to her, Prabhas is also partly responsible for the distortion.
In a recent Instagram story, she said that everyone is just blaming Om Raut and questioned why the hero is not being blamed as well. She said that accepting such a role and giving the nod to substandard dialogues in the film makes Prabhas 50 percent responsible for the poor quality of Adipurush. Maadhavi said that she does not care if Prabhas’ fans find her comments offensive because she told the truth. “Does the actor who plays Ram not have any responsibility towards how Ramayana is being portrayed,’ she wrote in her stories.
She also said that an actor who is a newcomer may not have any authority to make suggestions to the director but being an A-league actor, Prabhas could have influenced the director if he wanted.
Adipurush had taken off to a bad start right from when the first teaser had been released. The poor quality VFX in the teaser and Saif Ali Khan’s attire as Ravan had been severely criticised months before the film was released. The team of Adipurush then postponed the initial release date from January this month to June on the pretext of making changes to the VFX but the result has still not been able to appease the audience.
