## Adipurush's Struggles

The writer of "Adipurush," Manoj Muntashir, has openly acknowledged the film's shortcomings.

## A Call for Support

Muntashir expressed his hopes for the success of "Ramayana," praising Yash's casting as Ravana. He emphasized that while "Adipurush" did not succeed, its music was well-received, and he hopes "Ramayana" will achieve similar musical acclaim.
