Adipurush makers would have thought that today’s generation will accept something that is like a Marvel comic-Moti Sagar

HINDUSTAN TIMES (June 19, 2023)
Moti Sagar, one of the makers of the 1987 iconic TV series, Ramayan, starring Arun Govil as Lord Ram, isn’t impressed with Adipurush. “After learning about certain dialogues from the film via news or on Twitter, I can say that they could have been careful. He (writer) must have thought of making the film more attractive for the common man,” Sagar told PTI.
He also felt that the makers of the Prabhas-starrer approached the subject like a superhero film. “They would have thought that today’s generation will accept something that is like a Marvel comic, something that will connect more with them. Perhaps, they thought they can tell the same story of the Ramayana, but in their language, so that people understand it better. This is a totally different genre. I would not compare our Ramayan with this film. I’ve heard that a lot of effort has gone into making it. Even the big stars, they all worked hard,” Sagar said.
WILL CHANGE THE DIALOGUES THAT HURT: MANOJ
The dialogues of Adipurush have been under the scanner ever since the film was released. In fact, a line mouthed by Lord Hanuman’s character in the film, ‘Kapda tere baap ka, aag tere baap ki, tel tere baap ka, jalegi bhi teri baap ki’, has invited furore. Writer Manoj Muntashir took to social media to share that the makers have decided to make changes to some lines and include them in the theatrical versions this week. “The film’s director-producer and I have taken a decision. The dialogues which have hurt you, we will make changes to them and from this week itself, they will be included in the film.”
Earlier, he told Republic TV, “It (the dialogues) is not an error. A meticulous thought process has gone into writing the dialogues for Bajrang Bali and all the characters. We have made it simple because we have to understand one thing — if there are multiple characters in a film, all cannot speak the same language.”
Aadesh Shrivastava’s widow threatens to sue Ramanand Sagar's producer son over Lokhandwala deal

Vijayta Pandit claims Moti Sagar, son of filmmaker Ramanand Sagar, owes her Rs 1.65 cr. Sagar denies charge. Says bungalow deal fell through and it is the actress’s family that owes him money

Actress Vijayta Pandit, widow of music composer Aadesh Shrivastava, has threatened to drag Moti Sagar, son of legendary filmmaker Ramanand Sagar, to court over Rs 1.65 crore she claims he owes her.
A legal notice sent by the actress through Ameet Mehta of Solicis Lex says that Rs 1.65 crore was the token amount paid by Shrivastava to Sagar for a Lokhandwala bungalow in February 2015. But since the sale was never executed and the bungalow has since been sold to someone else, Vijayta Pandit must get the money back.
Sagar, however, denies he owes anything to Vijayta Pandit and claims that her late husband had, in fact, borrowed Rs 2.28 crore from him. “Not only do I not owe them anything, I will be soon filing a case to recover the money that is due to me,” he said.
Vijayta Pandit, who lost her husband in September 2015, has denied Sagar’s allegations, claiming that he has been dilly-dallying over returning the money from the time Aadesh was alive. “He stopped taking my calls after my husband passed away. I have gone to his office and sat there for hours, but every time returned without meeting him. This is my husband’s hard-earned money, and I will fight for it,” she said.
While the actress claims Sagar is offering her land in Baroda for the money, the latter said the land in Baroda was part of the original deal and it has already been transferred in Aadesh Shrivastava’s name. “I do not owe a penny to the family,” he said.
Vijayta Pandit says she has no use for the land because a part of it belongs to somebody else and she can’t sell it without the other party’s consent.
“I need the money. I am not earning and I have to support my two kids,” she said.
Sagar claims that Aadesh was aware of the Baroda land’s status when the deal was signed. “He knew there was another party involved. If the family is facing problems selling it, it is their problem. I should not be held responsible for it,” he said.
