The much-awaited film Adipurush was released in theatres on Friday amidst much expectation. Despite huge excitement among fans, the film seemingly failed to meet the expectation. Several negative reviews criticised Om Raut for including what some perceive as ‘modern’ elements, suggesting they were unnecessary.
Many netizens have expressed concerns about the visual effects, costume choices, and the portrayal of mythological characters in the film. In the midst of all the criticism, the filmmaker’s old tweet has resurfaced and gone viral. Scroll down to know more.
Om Raut’s 2016 tweet subtly made a comparison between the Marathi film ‘Sairat’ and Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Fan’, which was released around the same time. He wrote, “#Sairat Box Office declared at 80cr. Crosses #SRK starrer #FAN Now that’s what I call #Zingat.”

Fans have now turned the tables and poked fun at Raut’s tweet, noting the absurdity of the situation as ‘Adipurush’ has received poor reviews and has been the target of harsh trolling.
Fans expressed their support for Shah Rukh Khan while responding to the situation, with one fan commenting, “Never mess with King Khan.” Another fan emphasised King Khan’s achievements, “What SRK did in 2011, no one can replicate in the present.”
A third user highlighted stated, “What #ShahRukhKhan presented decades back is still a dream for these so-called PAN India movies and stars.” Sarcastically, a fourth user added, “God bless you, my son.”
Today, with a 600cr budget, Om Raut made The Epic Story of Ramayana like a Cartoon. He couldn't even do 10% of FAN in VFX. #SRK will always be a Daddy in Vision and Film Making.
The world is laughing at you @omraut. Now that's what we call #Karma. https://t.co/BJKbm0Ri3Z
