Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has issued a statement apologising for his recent comment where he said that his upcoming film Adipurush was going to show the ‘humane’ side of Ravan and justify the abduction of Sita.
In an interview to Mumbai Mirror published yesterday (Dec 5) on his upcoming project ‘Adipurush’, Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan had said that he was excited to play the role of ‘Ravan’ in the upcoming historical drama.
“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 his nose,” Saif Ali Khan added.
Saif Ali Khan’s apology came after the remarks he made in the interview received widespread condemnation
Maharashta BJP leader Ram Kadam took to Twitter to issue a statement directed at Saif Ali Khan and Adipurush director Om Raut.
