Actor Saif Ali Khan's recent interview on his upcoming film 'Adipurush' caused a stir on social media. It all happened when the actor while speaking about his character of Lankesh called Raavan 'humane.' Not only this but he even spoke about how the director Om Raut will justify the abduction of Sita. This hurt the sentiments of fans who started bashing him and even demanded the replacement of the actor from the film. Now, Saif has shared a clarification note for everyone in which he has apologized for hurting people's sentiments and taken his statements back.

He said, "I've been made aware that one of my statements during an interview, has caused a controversy and hurt people's sentiments. This was never my intention or meant that way. I would like to sincerely apologise to everybody and withdraw my statement. Lord Ram has always been the symbol of Righteousness & Heroism for me. Adipurush is about celebrating the victory of good over evil and the entire team is working together to present the epic without any distortions."

The Om Raut directorial "Adipurush" also stars Telugu superstar Prabhas. It will release in Hindi-Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada as well as several foreign languages. It will go on floors early next year and will hit the screens on 11 August 2022.
