Controversy over Adipurush: Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra on Tuesday warned the makers of upcoming Bollywood film "Adipurush" of legal action if scenes showing Hindu religious figures in the `wrong' way were not removed.

The first teaser-trailer of Om Raut-directed film, starring Prabhas as Lord Ram, Saif Ali Khan as Ravan and Kriti Sanon as Sita, was released recently.

The film is based on the epic Ramayana. “I have seen the trailer of Adipurush. There are objectionable scenes in it,” Mishra, who is also the spokesperson of the state government, told reporters here. 

India Tv -  Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra writes to the filmmaker urging him to make some changes in the upcoming movie.

I am writing a letter to Om Raut to remove all such scenes from the film. If not removed, we will consider legal action,” Mishra said.

He also cited a religious text in support of his contention. This is not the first time the MP Home Minister has warned of legal action against filmmakers.

In July this year, he had directed the state police to register a First Information Report over the controversial poster of Leena Manimekalai's documentary 'Kaali'.
