Actor Saif Ali Khan, who is playing the character of Ravan in upcoming Hindi film Adipurush, in an interview to a newspaper had said that the film will show the ‘humane’ side of Ravan. He said, “It’s interesting to play a demon king, fewer strictures in that. But we will make him humane and justify his abduction of Sita and the war with Ram as revenge for what was done to his sister Surpanakha by Lakshman, who cut off her nose.”
“Wow, and they think #Hindus will pay money 2 watches? And by the way, has he lost his mind ? or his #muslim brain only teaches him dis dat abducting a woman n at another’s wife can b #justified in any which ways ?? I refuse 2 waste my #hardearnedmoney over dis crap #BoycottBollywood,” one tweeted.
Another wrote: “No worries @#SaifAliKhan we will make you inhumane and irrelevant. You can make movies for yourself and your son Taimur I am sure he will also make look Taimur, who brutally killed Hindus. #boycottbollywood Jai Shree Ram.”
Sharing clarification regarding his statement on his “Adipurush” character of Ravan, Saif said on Sunday: “I’ve been made aware that one of my statements during an interview, has caused controversy and hurt people’s sentiments. This was never my intention or meant that way. I would like to sincerely apologise to everybody and withdraw my statement. Lord Ram has always been the symbol of Righteousness & Heroism for me. Adipurush is about celebrating the victory of good over evil and the entire team is working together to present the epic without any distortions.”
