Sriram attacked Prabhas’ Kalki 2898 AD, calling the portrayal of Karna in the movie a distortion of history.
He questioned how such portrayals could be accepted when they misrepresent characters like Karna and hail him as greater than Arjun and Dharmaraja, who was silent during Draupadi’s Cheerharan. Sriram pointed out that such portrayals go against Hindu dharma, which would not accept these changes.
He further lamented that not just in Kalki, but across Indian mythology, films have altered the original stories from epics like the Ramayana and Bhagavata Purana to suit the filmmakers’ preferences.
Sriram also questioned whether Hinduism would accept such misrepresentations, adding that films like PK, which mock Hindu practices and deities, should not be supported.
Sriram further criticized filmmakers who twist historical facts and mythology for entertainment, noting that many movies have altered the traditional portrayal of Hindu gods and historical figures.
He urged Hindus to collectively boycott and reject such films to preserve the sanctity of their religion.
