Sunil Lahri, who played Laxman in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan (1987), answers questions regarding Adipurush. Om Raut’s film has gotten a lot of criticism, particularly for Manoj Muntashir’s strange and colloquial lines, as well as the expressions of the actors Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, Saif Ali Khan, Sunny Singh, and Devdatta Nage. In an exclusive chat with free press journal, he stated the following.

Opinion on Adipurush

“I have watched Adipurush. One word I will say it’s disappointing. The makers and the producers and writers I was expecting something substantial and good will be shown on the celluloid. We all had a lot of expectations. They are very confused and not very clear. They didn’t do justice to the character nor did they do justice to the audience as they failed to create any emotions. I was watching the film as an audience; I didn’t get moved with any scene. In fact some blunders were committed for example the lanka had to be sone ki they constructed a black lanka.”

Thoughts on the ‘Laxman’ role, is there a huge difference?
“Basically, I felt he (Sunny) had nothing to play. This brother is not given proper characterisation. I don’t feel he is a bad actor. Whatever he has done earlier, he has done a good job in the past. Even Ram’s character and Laxman’s character has no differentiation at all. They look same in their behaviour and performances.”
“There was no human touch in Prabas’s persona as Ram. Arun Govil has been portrayed very rightly as Ram – being calm, composed, contented, peaceful and very divine. Unlike this Ram who fails to ignite all this in the viewers and fails to grab their attention in a positive manner. I think it’s not the fault of Prabhas. He is a good actor. I feel it’s the mistake of the brief given to him. It has been conceived by the director. God knows what went in his mind while conceiving it.”

 

Did sita played by Kriti Sanon had an emotional touch?

“I didn’t find any emotional touch of mata in Kriti. It’s the director who narrates a character to perform the way he has conceptualised. I don’t blame the actor.”
