Manoj Muntashir Calls Adipurush His “Biggest Mistake”, Says He Is “Ashamed” of Controversial Dialogues
Manoj Muntashir says his post-release defense deepened the backlash, and he calls the film’s dialogues his biggest mistake.
- On Saturday, July 25, 2026, lyricist Manoj Muntashir expressed deep regret over his work on the 2023 film Adipurush, calling both writing the dialogues and defending the movie his "biggest mistake."
- Released in 2023, Adipurush faced immediate backlash for inappropriate dialogues including "Jalegi tere baap ki," which viewers argued were disrespectful to the Ramayana, prompting makers to revise the script.
