The Adipurush controversy doesn’t seem to gradual down any time soon. Om Raut's directorial is below scrutiny for multiple reasons. Featuring Kriti Sanon, Prabhas, Devdatta Nage, and Saif Ali Khan in the lead roles, the mythological film is dealing with massive backlash on social media for its VFX and 'cheap dialogues.' Amid the ongoing controversies, Dipika Chikhlia, who became well-known for her role as Goddess Sita in Ramanand Sagar’s 'Ramayan' 36 years in the past, stated, 'The Ramayana is not for leisure and filmmakers need to keep away from coming up with new iterations every few years. Every time it's miles going to return again on display screen, be it for TV or film, it's far going to have something which goes to harm people because you are not going to make a reproduction of the Ramayana that we made," Chikhlia told PTI.

"Adipurush", a lavish multilingual retelling of the Ramayana, has come underneath attack for its communicate, colloquial language and representation of some characters from the a good deal-cherished mythological epic. As attention once more targeted on various versions of the Ramayana – lively, small display screen and massive -- Chikhlia shared a video of hers dressed as Sita in a hark back to the role that made her a household call in India of the past due 80s.

"This post is on public call for. I'm grateful for the love I have always obtained for the function I performed 'Me As Sitaji'. Could not have asked for more," she captioned the clip on her respectable Instagram account.According to her, every filmmaker has their attitude and that they want to make some thing extraordinary. "(But) what actually pains me is why are we continuously seeking to make Ramayana every yr or two years. Ramayana isn't always (for) entertainment value; it's far some thing which you learn from. It is a book that's being handed right down to us by means of generations and that is what our 'sanskars' (values) are all about," she said.

Chikhlia, 58, hasn’t watched “Adipurush' and, given the bad buzz, is not going to achieve this. "Possibly that also clouded my judgment… I am shooting spherical-the-clock, so time is a large constraint for me. So, once I truly watch it, (then) I will in all likelihood be in a better frame of mind to speak about ‘Adipurush’," she stated without divulging any information about her future tasks.

"At this point, I have nothing to percentage. People are coming to me about it, the scenes and the whole lot, and lots of people from the press too, but I haven't any clue about it (the movie),” Chikhlia, who joined politics after the achievement of the display and have become BJP MP FROM Baroda in 1991, said.
