Lahri shared some lines on Instagram from ‘Adipurush’ that characters like Hanumanji and Raavan said, and he said that he felt ashamed. In his post, Lahri asked why such language was used in a movie that said it was based on the Ramayana. He wrote, "If it's true that the movie ‘Adipurush’ was made with the Ramayana in mind, then it's very shameful that these kinds of words were used in the dialogues."

On reacting to Sunil Lahri’s post, a user wrote, “Sab Islamic log hai ye Bollywood wale sanatan ko halala ki paidaish hai” while another said, “Ramanand Sagar jaisa na kabhi banega na kabhi bana hai jai shree ram”

Another user wrote, “#boycott adipurush …..aap bilkul sahi ho sir …astha ka majak bana rakha hai ..jai shree ram.”

Another one said, “Laxman ji aap shrap de do Om Raut ko”

Take A Look: 

In a recent chat, writer Manoj Muntashir defended the dialogues in his book ‘Adipurush’. He said that the lines for the figure of Bajrangbali (Hanuman) were written after a lot of thought. Muntashir said that since there are many different roles in the movie, they can't all talk the same way. So, the different ways the characters spoke was done on purpose to make them seem different and set them apart.
