According to India Today, the complaint was registered by Sanjay Dinanath Tiwari through Mumbai High Court Advocates - Ashish Rai and Pankaj Mishra at Sakinaka police station against the producers, artist and director Om Raut.
The complaint stated that “the religious sentiments of the Hindu religion society have been hurt by the filmmaker Om Raut by inappropriately displaying the character of the Hindi religious text Ramcharitmanas in the new poster of the film."
The poster that released on Ram Navami featured Prabhas and Sunny carrying bows and arrows, donning armour and dressed in dhoti. Kriti featured in a simple saree with her head covered, while Devdatta Nage was seen in a side pose as he bowed down in the service of the trio.
‘Adipurush’ had earlier also courted controversy, including boycott calls, when many objected to the depiction of Hindu deities and inferior quality of visual effects in the teaser of the film launched in October.
The latest new Hindi film was earlier set to arrive in theatres on August 11, 2022, but the release date was further pushed to January 12, 2023. It is now slated to hit the screens in 3D on June 16 this year.
