Muntashir Shukla’s apology comes after the Allahabad High Court’s observations on June 27, where it admonished the filmmakers for putting the tolerance of Hindus to test.

 The film opened to a decent collection of Rs 37 crore on its first day with Rs 140 crore worldwide gross.

The film, which is inspired by the Hindu epic Ramayana, has faced objections from various groups for its depiction of Lord Ram, Lakshman, Sita and Ravana. 

To the delight of the fans, a monkey swung into the theatre during the showtime of the film. The fans erupted in joy and sang Jai Sri Ram song in harmony, welcoming the monkey as a divine guest.

The movie features Prabhas as Lord Ram, Kriti Sanon as Sita, Sunny Singh as Lakshman, and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh or Ravana.

The trailer also highlights the clash of ideologies and values between Adipurush and Lankesh, as they prepare for the ultimate showdown.

The film has also been selected for an international premiere at the Tribeca Festival in New York on June 13.

Furthermore, objections have been raised on Kriti's portrayal of Sita without vermilion, which Tiwari alleges depicts her as an unmarried woman.
