Prabhas was last seen in Adipurush, a Bollywood film directed by Om Raut and written by Manoj Muntashir Shukla. The film, which was released on June 16, was a re-telling of the Hindu epic Ramayana. It received backlash because of controversial dialogues and the way it was made. Hindu groups were allegedly offended by the depiction of Hanuman and Ravan in the film and called for a “blanket boycott.” Several also alleged that the dialogues in the film insult characters from the Ramayana.
