"I am with saints. I request Prime Minister Narendra Modi to look at the demands of saints and give permission to formulate the Sanatan Censor Board," Pratap said.

Also, recently, a plea seeking a stay order on the film release has been moved in a Delhi court.

The plea alleged that Adipurush portrayed Lord Rama and Hanuman in an unwarranted and inaccurate way as they wear leather straps. The plea has been moved by advocate Raj Gaurav against producer Bhushan Kumar and director Om Raut.

Helmed by Om Raut, the 'Adipurush' teaser also garnered negative responses from the netizens over the "poor quality of VFX used in the film."

Now it's to see whether the film can see the light of day on January 12, 2023. (ANI)
