Ever since its release in theatres, Adipurush has seen the wrath of people and moviegoers. From the dialogues to the VFX, the film has been receiving negative reviews from moviegoers.

Infact, on Tuesday, the All India Cine Workers Association wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting him to "stop screening the movie and immediately order a ban of Adipurush screening in the theatres and OTT platforms in the future".

In the letter by the organisation, the members also wrote how they need FIR against director Om Raut, dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir Shukla and the producers of the film.

A part of their letter read, "All Indian Cine Workers Association demands a ban on screening the movie Adipurush. This movie’s screenplay and dialogues are clearly defaming the image of Lord Rama and Lord Hanumana. Adipurush movie is hurting religious sentiments of Hindus and Sanatan Dharma."

The letter further read: “We need an FIR against the director (Om Raut), writer (Manoj Muntashir), and the producers of the movie who have hurt the Hindu sentiments and save the image of our Bhagwan Shri Ram, Maa Sita, and Ramsevak Bhagwan Hanuman”. The association said towards the end of the letter that Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan should not have been a part of this project.
