After the dialogues in the controversial film ‘Adipurush’ starring Prabhas and Kriti Sanon💟 were changed keeping in mind public sentiments, maker of the iconic TV serial ‘Ramayan’ from the late 1980s, Ramanand Sagar's son Prem Sagar has expressed his views on it.
⛎The dialogue in contention was by Bajrang (Hanuman) played by Devdatta Nage during the Lanka Dahan scene. The lines were: "Kapda tere baap ka, tel tere baap ka, aag bhi tere baap ki, aur jalegi bhi tere baap ki."
▨However, the lines have now been altered in the new prints. From "baap", the words have now been changed to "Lanka".
✃Talking about the reworked lines, Prem Sagar told IANS: “The very fact that somebody has realised that you cannot play with the sentiments of millions and millions of Ram Bhakts is a big thing because of mistakes…. Will call it misjudgement because it can be a misjudgement also as they might have thought it will be a commercial hit idea but it might have backfired.”
♊He added: “So realising the mistake and then working on it is by itself a nice thing - to accept a mistake and move forward.”
♎“Ultimately, a film it is not like a book that anyone can read. If the masses don't see then what is the gain in making a film?”
