"Adipurush" drew a lot of criticism for distorting the epic Ramayana, despite low ratings. Prabhas, however, demonstrated that he can generate openings for the first weekend of any film.
In North India, "Adipurush" received a lot of criticism, even from right-wing groups that typically support mythological films.
The film was pulled from theaters, and even Prabhas' fans had forgotten about it.
However, it became the subject of social media trolling after the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched India's third lunar exploration mission, Chandrayaan-3, on Friday.
A social media post comparing the budgets of Chandrayaan-3 and "Adipurush" went viral. According to the post, "Adipurush" is more expensive than "Chandrayaan-3."
Though it went viral, the truth is that "Adipurush" has a budget of around Rs 350 to 400 crore, while "Chandrayaan-3" has a budget of around Rs 650 crore. But who cares about the truth on social media?
Netizens require something to troll or discuss.
