Actor Saif Ali Khan recently got embroiled in a controversy when in his recent interview he opened up about his upcoming film ‘Adipurush’.

In an interview with a newspaper, Saif, who is playing the role of Ravan in Adipurush, had said that the film will show the ‘humane’ side of Ravan. He said, “It’s interesting to play a demon king, less strictures in that. But we will make him humane, up the entertainment quotient, justify his abduction of Sita and the war with Ram as revenge for what was done to his sister Surpanakha by Lakshman, who cut off her nose.”

Now, he has issued a statement and apologized to all. Read below

“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.”
