Director Om Raut defended his film 'Adipurush', which faced heavy criticism for its dialogues, VFX, and performances, by highlighting its strong box office performance. Despite negative reviews, including a 2-star rating from Firstpost, Raut emphasized that the movie generated over ₹400 crore globally, attributing the criticism to 'false perception' rather than the film's quality. He claimed that stars like Prabhas and Salman Khan are 'flop-proof' due to their massive fan followings, which shield them from box office failures. Raut suggested that negative media and social media clips contributed to the adverse perception of the film. He stated that while the film's revenue was substantial, the negative perception hindered its potential success.
