Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has apologized for his recent statement about the giant Malay character Rao, saying that his intention was not to hurt anyone's feelings.
Saif Ali Khan is playing the role of Rao in his upcoming film 'Adi Pursh'. The film is based on the Hindu religious story Ramayana in which the role of Lord Rama is played by South Indian actor Prabhas.
According to this story, Ravana kidnapped Rama's wife Sita and then there was a battle between Rama and Ravana in which Rama won and on this day 'Dussehra' is celebrated every year in different parts of the country. I am also known by various names and it is also called the 'celebration of the victory of good over evil'.
The controversy started with a comment by Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan.
Talking about his role, he told a newspaper, "It would be very interesting to play the role of a monster king, but it is less harsh. We will present it in a form that will be entertaining and will also give a good reason for Sita's abduction that he did so out of revenge with Rama because his brother Lakshman His (Rawan's) sister had cut off Surpankha's nose.
After this comment, a lot was written against him on social media.
Many users on social media called the comment an insult to Hindus. At the same time, many people started calling for a boycott of the film. Along with 'Hindu', 'Saif Ali Khan', 'Aurangzeb', 'Tipu Sultan', 'Timur' and 'Babar' also started to be mentioned. It was as if a different kind of war stick was appearing on Twitter.
A user named 'James of Bollywood' has about 75,000 followers on Twitter. "Saif Ali Khan wants to see Ramain in a new way and present Rao as a good man and justify Sita's abduction," he wrote. This is very disturbing and should be opposed. Why is this happening at a time when kidnappings are on the rise in the states? Saif's anti-Hindu family history may explain this.
Many people started demanding immediate arrest of Saif Ali Khan and many people demanded his immediate release from the film. Someone wrote that Saif apologized and the rest of the filmmakers also apologized.
A user named Ratu Rathore wrote, “Bollywood is moving towards its anti-Hindu agenda. Kareena Kapoor's husband Saif Ali Khan will justify the abduction of Sita Mata from his Linkesh character (Rawan) in the upcoming film. This will further strengthen the 'Rawan Ki Puja' which is being promoted through Bhim Memes. That's why you need Karni Sena. "
It may be recalled that earlier Karni Sena had opened a front against the film 'Padmavati' and interrupted its shooting and even changed its name. Apart from this, she has been in the forefront in many other matters as well, while in some places Rao is also worshiped.
Satish Kapoor, a user, wrote with the hashtag 'Arrest Saif Ali Khan' that 'What is the right of those who do not know Ramayana to play with the facts of Ramayana. This is an insult to the Hindu religion. Saif Ali Khan is a modern day Aurangzeb who is playing with history.
Many people wrote to Saif Ali Khan mocking his son's name, saying, "What more can be expected from Timur's father."
Although many people mentioned another actor instead of Saif Ali Khan for the role of Rao, many people seemed to appreciate Saif's performance. One user wrote that "as an actor he is not very popular but he can blur any actor with his brilliant acting."
What did Saif say now?
Actor Saif Ali Khan has issued a statement saying, "I have come to know that one of my statements during an interview has caused controversy and hurt people's feelings. I had no such intention. I honestly want to apologize to everyone and withdraw my statement.
After that, Saif Ali Khan said that 'Adi Purush' will be a celebration of the victory of good over evil.
"Lord Ram has always been a symbol of truth and bravery for me," he said. Adi Purush is about celebrating the victory of good over evil and the whole team is working together to present this epic without any additions.
