Changing Adipurush dialogues not enough, BJP CMs should say sorry: Opposition MP
BJP leaders, chief ministers who ‘blessed’ Adipurush should apologise, changing dialogues after facing flak not enough, Priyanka Chaturvedi said.
After Manoj Muntashir on Sunday said that the dialogues of Prabhas-starrer Adipurush will be revised since they have been receiving a lot of flak for being 'cheap and pedestrian', Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi asked the rationale behind the decision if not only more money and said the BJP CMs who 'blessed' the movie should first apologise. "Just changing dialogues and rereleasing in the hope of making money is not enough. The writer, the director, the spineless censor board that passed such objectionable dialogues and the opportunist BJP CMs and BJP supported unconstitutional CM for blessing the movie— they all need to apologise for ‘pedestrianising’ the words of our revered gods," Priyanka Chaturvedi wrote.

In one such instance, Bajrang Bali in the movie said: "Kapda tere baap ka, aag tere baap ki, tel tere baap ka, jalegi bhi teri baap ki." Manoj Muntashir who wrote the dialogues earlier said he intentionally kept the dialogues easy and the way people speak today. On Sunday, however, he took a step back and announced that Om Raut and he decided to revise some of the dialogues.
