‘You Better!’ Fans React As Adipurush Director Assures He’s Taking Notes Of Teaser Backlash
When the teaser or a trailer of a movie drops, a lot is at stake for not just the actors in the film and their reputation, but also the filmmakers who are hoping the audience takes a liking to their work.
And when that doesn’t happen, things begin to fall apart before they could even come together.
Perhaps that is why, oftentimes, after testing the waters with a teaser, makers go back to make changes with the audience feedback in mind, something that Adipurush director Om Raut has promised to do. After the underwhelming reaction the cast and crew of Adipurush received, Om Raut has reassured fans that not only is he taking notes of the criticism, but also that the movie shall not disappoint the fans.
In an interview with News 18, Om Raut shared, “Hum par Vishwas Rakhein (have faith in us). For us, our audience is supreme. So all the sages, our elders, whoever is telling us things, we are taking note of it. We are writing it down and I assure you that when this film releases on 12 January 2023, we will not disappoint anyone. Believe in us, we will make it happen.”
He even addressed the elephant in the room – which was the backlash that the film had received on social media as he said, “We have seen only 95 seconds of the teaser. I say this again, we are taking all the notes. I guarantee that nobody will be disappointed.”
Meanwhile, the writer of the film Manoj shared with News18 how the film has not deviated even 1% from the original Ramayana epic.
He said, “First of all, not even 1% of our film is a deviation from the actual Ramayan. When did we speak about Ramayana what comes to our mind and what have you seen in the teaser? Ramayan is an epic in which demon king Ravana kidnaps Ma Sita and Lord Ram goes to Lanka to save her with help from Vaanar Sena. In a nutshell, this is Ramayana as told to a five-year-old kid. This is the story we have lived with, retelling and showing in our film.”
The movie is slated to release in January 2023.
