Mukesh Khanna slams Saif Ali Khan
The film which has hurt the sentiments of the majority of people by using insulting language like "jalegi bhi tere baap ki" for Gods and deities has received criticism from the Shaktimam actor as well.?
He says Ravan didn't look like Ravan at all.?
"Raavan may be scary, but how can look like Chandrakanta¡¯s Shivdutt ¨C vishpurush? He was a pandit. You will be shocked how can someone imagine and design Raavan in this manner. I remember when the film was announced, Saif had said he¡¯ll make the character humourous," he said in a video going viral.?

He dared Saif Ali Khan, 'Apne Dharam mein kar ke dikhao'
He added, "I had said then as well ¨C 'Who the hell are you to change characters of our epic, apne dharam me kar ke dikhao. Sir katne lagenge (you will be beheaded)'. The fact is, not much changed in Raavan¡¯s look and the makers even tried to make him do comedy."
Adipurush team should be burnt at fifty degrees Celsius, he said.
"While Shiv ji had blessed Ravan, now those who do not have that much knowledge, then you are talking big things. It is absolutely rubbish. They should not be forgiven. Yesterday I said on my channel that this whole team should be burnt standing at fifty degrees Celsius."
He also questioned Om Raut's choice and said,?"Om Raut ko Raavan ke liye sirf Saif Ali Khan mila? Isase uncha character industry me rah nahi gaya kya? Raavan kaddavar tha, isko jugaad se banaya. Raavan kam sasta smuggler zyada dikhta hai."
Not just Mukesh Khanna, a lot of other people have also lashed out at the makers for Saif's portrayal of Ravan in the film. Some users even pointed out that his hairstyle is same as Virat Kohli.?
?Some others are praising Saif Ali Khan for his performance in the film, which they think could have been executed in a better way. While they think the film is bad, Saif's performance has stood out for them.?
