If you don’t live under a rock, you must have heard Manoj Muntashir Shukla’s name, especially today. The man behind the super controversial Adipurush’s dialogues, Shukla is not a new name in the industry.

The 47-year-old is under fire for writing ‘distasteful’ dialogues for the Prabhas starrer Adipurush. Now, the makers of the film are going to revise the dialogues of the film and the same will reflect in theatres.?

Shukla is not a stranger to controversy. Back in 2021, the songwriter was accused of plagiarism. People claimed that the song he wrote for Akshay Kumar’s ‘Kesari’ titled ‘Teri Mitti’ was not his creation. He had retaliated to the accusations, and said that none of his creations are original.?

He had said, “None of my creations are 100% original. File petitions against me and I will respect every decision of the court. Momin’s lines inspired one stanza of the song Teri Galiyan, Tere Sang Yara was inspired by Firakh Gorakhpuri’s couplets and my own song Teri Mitti has been translated in so many languages but I do not think my name was written anywhere.”

"I am not going to stop or bend. It is only my talent and hard work that have brought me from Gauriganj streets to Rajpath. I am being punished for being a nationalist. Those attacking me must know, it is impossible to stop me. Kindly check if I mentioned Robert Lavery’s name. Get at it now. I am Manoj Muntashir Shukla and I am proud of it,” he had said back in 2021.?

Besides the controversies, he is also the man behind shows such as ‘India’s Got Talent’ and ‘Indian Idol Junior’. He even wrote the dialogues for the super hit film ‘Baahubali 2’. Not just this, he even wrote Hindi dialogues for the Hollywood movie ‘Black Panther’.?
