New Delhi: Director Om Raut’s recent movie “Adipurush” is under problems since the day it was released. Since then, several people have raised objections to certain dialogues of the movie and the depictions of epic characters like Hanuman and Ravana. The movie had been recently banned in Nepal. Recently Vishnu Gupta, National President of Hindu Sena filed the present PIL in the Delhi High Court seeking ban on the film.

As per the plea, Hindu gods and characters like Lord Rama, Sita, Hanuman and Ravan have been depicted in an inaccurate manner and their description in the film is contrary to what is described in the epic Ramayana.

The petition said that “depiction of characters like Ravana, played by Saif Ali Khan, is completely detached from ‘Indian civilisation’ and his bearded look is hurting the sentiments of Hindu community as the Hindu Brahmin Ravana is shown in a wrong manner”.

"Since these are essentially religious leaders/characters, the film makers, producers, and actors cannot be permitted to take an unimpeded creative liberty to commercialize the religious leaders/characters, their faces, personalities and looks including hair. This is a sheer violation of religious rights under Article 25 of the Constitution of India,” the petition said.

It further argued that Hindus have a particular view of the image of Ram, Sita and Hanuman and any change/tampering with these images by film producers, directors and actors would be a violation of their fundament rights.

Therefore, such feature films should not be permitted for public release until corrective measures are taken by the film producers and directors, the petition demanded.
