Gone are the days when people used to accept films on Gods and epics despite the makers taking some cinematic liberty. Things have changed now and audiences are not ready to watch films that misrepresent the epics and charters in the epic. The situation is that the makers should be careful while making such films.
Back in those days, there was no social media and people had no proper platform to raise their voices. With the emergence of social media, audiences can now show their anger and even impact a film’s performance at the box office.
It is known that Adipurush film is one of the much-awaited films which is being made on a big budget. The Pan-India film is based on the Hindu epic Ramayan. The makers are using the latest technology to tell the story of Ramayan and the teaser of the film was launched recently. Since then, the makers are facing severe criticism.
Not just the politicians, but a few members of the film fraternity also raised their objections and asked why the makers are showing the characters not as prescribed in the epic Ramayana.
Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna who shot to super fame with the Shaktiman series also slammed the makers. He said that the picture, the believers of Hindu Gods have of how the gods looks are very different from the depiction in the film.
Mukesh Khanna asked how the look of the characters can be changed when the film is based on Ramayana. If you want to make a film inspired by Avatar, you can call Adipurush a fictional story. He asked if the makers can do the same with other religions.
Mukesh Khanna also said that Gods are not bodybuilders and they don’t have muscular bodies like Schwarzenegger. Talking more about the look of the gods, Mukesh Khanna said that Gods have a soft look and people cannot think of gods with moustaches.
“Look at Ram or Krishna for example. They are not bodybuilders, they have a soft, docile, and grand look on their faces. No one can claim they met Ram or Krishna, but from whatever we have seen over the years, they have a feminine look. People who worship them never think of Ram or Hanuman with moustaches,” Mukesh Khanna said.
