Prabhas and Kriti Sanon starrer Adipurush is going to hit theatres on 16 June 2023 and it is expected to break all the records of the box-office earnings but this movie has always attracted controversies and with release just a week away, it has once again attracted one more controversy.
This time the center of the controversy is not the VFX or characterization of the film but the director Om Raut and the leading lady of the flick, Kriti Sanon.
If you remember, the final action trailer was released in a big event at Tirupati which was attended by a huge number of fans and one day after the event, the director and the lead actress visited the temple of Lord Venkateshwara in Tirupati.
A video is going viral in which Kriti Sanon and Om Raut were seen saying goodbye to each other outside the temple premises and Om Raut also kissed Kriti Sanon on the cheek. This act outside the temple hasn’t gone down well with many including the priests of few famous temples and few politicians as well.
Here is the video:
The head priest of Chilkur Balaji temple condemned this act as he stated, “This is a condemnable act. Even a husband and wife do not go there (temple) together. You can go to a hotel room and do it. Your behaviour is like insulting Ramayan and Goddess Sita.”
These types of gestures are pretty common in the movie industry but they should have refrained from such things when they are at a sacred place.
