An unbothered Saif Ali Khan: An unwise choice?

The news of Saif Ali Khan playing Ravana in Om Raut’s Adipurush was met with severe criticism at the time of the announcement itself, owing to religious differences. Despite that, the director backed his choice, saying that Saif is the right choice for the role.

Upon the film’s release, the character design of Saif Ali Khan was heavily criticized by everyone – haters and non-haters alike, for the disastrous way in which Ravana was showcased. Director Om Raut, and the writer of the film, Manoj Muntashir, have been trying to justify the choices that they have taken ever since the release of the film.

While so much is being done by the makers to defend the film, Saif Ali Khan has not uttered a single word in defense of the movie, which is a shocking factor. If the actor were to pass at least a single statement in support of the movie, or in anyway defending his character, it would probably help in making a lot of damage control. With the actor staying silent, it may not look so good for him in the days ahead.
