Saif Apologises For Justification of 'Raavan Abducting Sita' Statement!
Bollywood stars cannot stay out of controversy and it has been proven time and again. The recent star to fall prey to his own comments is handsome hero Sai Ali Khan. The senior hero who is all set to play the role of Lankesh (Raavan) in Om Raut's upcoming film 'Adipurush'. Prabhas will be seen as lord Ram in this massive project.
While speaking about his role in the film, Saif stirred a controversy when he said that they would try to make him humane. He said, 'It's interesting to play a demon king, less strictures in that. But we will make him humane, up the entertainment quotient, justify his abduction of Sita and the war with Ram as revenge for what was done to his sister Surpanakha by Lakshman, who cut off her nose.'
His statements were criticised were many Hindu community leaders and normal people. BJP leader Ram Kadam wrote, 'Actor #SaifAliKhan makes an extremely shocking statement regarding his forthcoming film Adipurush. Saif who plays Ravan's character says Ravan's abduction of Sita Maa will be justified in the film. Ravan's humane side will be shown and his war against Sri Ram will be justified. Director @OmRaut director, you made #Tanhaji which was well received worldwide bcz it does justice to Hindu pride and Marathi asmita. But if #Adhipurush plans to show Ravan in positive light and justify the inhuman act of abduction of Sita Maa, we will never allow that to happen. Hope better sense prevails #JaiShriRam.'
Saif was quick to take back his statements and gave an explanation. He said, 'I've been made aware that one of my statements during an interview, has caused a controversy and hurt people's sentiments. This was never my intention or meant that way. I would like to sincerely apologise to everybody and withdraw my statement. Lord Ram has always been the symbol of Righteousness and Heroism for me. Adipurush is about celebrating the victory of good over evil and the entire team is working together to present the epic without any distortions.'
