The multilingual 3D spectacle, which was released to much fanfare on Friday, has come under fire for its colloquial language.

Its Hindi dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir released a statement on Sunday saying that the makers have decided to "edit some dialogues" and the edited lines will be added to the film by this week.

The Aam Aadmi Party on Saturday raised objections to some dialogues and scenes in the film Adipursh, accusing them of hurting Hindu sentiments and saying the BJP had allowed "cheap politics" to be created.

Delhi BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor on Saturday demanded that the censor board temporarily ban the screening of the film until its "controversial" scenes and dialogues are re-examined.

On Saturday, a protest was held in Chhattisgarh's Manendragarh-Chirmiri-Bharatpur district demanding a nationwide ban on the screening of Adipurush, which the protesters alleged was a conspiracy against Sanatan Dharma.
