The Allahabad High Court on Tuesday came down heavily on the makers of the film Adipurush and said that the tolerance of a particular community was being put to the test by them.
Slamming the makers for portraying the characters of Lord Rama, Hanuman and Sita in a “vulgar” and “objectionable” manner, the court orally observed that “religious scriptures, which are associated with public sentiment, should not be touched or encroached upon”.
While hearing a couple of public interest litigation (PIL) petitions filed against the film, the Bench of Justices Rajesh Singh Chauhan and Shree Prakash Singh remarked that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) should have considered the “religious importance” of the film before granting the certification.
