Netizens also raised questions about not wearing Janeu by the actors in the film. Which holds special importance in Santan Dharma.

In order to give a complete visual experience to the viewers, we need to give more time to the teams working on the film. Adipurush will now release on June 16th, 2023. We are committed to making a film that India will be proud of. Your support, love, and blessings are what keep us going.”
