Sunil Lahri who played Lakshman in Ramayan shares his reaction to Adipurush

Actor Sunil Lahri has played Lakshman in Ramanand Sagar’s Doordarshan show Ramayan. The actor talked about ongoing controversy around Prabhas starrer Adipurush. Sunil said that he was disappointed’ after watching the film.

In a new interview, Sunil said nothing about Adipurush ‘had logic’ and said that Lord Hanuman in the film ‘speak the language of the streets’. Sunil said he had a lot of expectations from the movie, since it was talked about so much.

He said, “I have seen the film. I am very disappointed after watching the film… The thought that crossed my mind was, why did I go to see the film? I didn’t like the picture at all. There are only two things that I can say I liked about the film – background music and the cinematography. Barring these two aspects, the film left me sorely disappointed.”

“After seeing the picture, I had no clue how to react to it. Setting myself aside, since I played a character in Ramayan, even the people who sat around me in the theatre were not happy watching the movie. Two women sat saying to each other, ‘Let’s get up and take a walk. What nonsense are we watching?’ To that, the other woman said, ‘Let’s see the visual effects if nothing else’. A man sitting next to me told his friend, ‘What are they showing in the name of Ramayana?'” Sunil said in the same interview.

Directed by Om Raut, Adipurush stars Prabhas as Raghav, Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh and Kriti Sanon as Janaki.
