Amid massive criticism over Om Raut's Adipurush, now the film's writer and lyricist Manoj Muntashir, during an interaction with a channel reacted to the controversies surrounding the film. He said, “Half of Bollywood does not want to work with me because they know dialogues like ‘paap ka devta’ and ‘hawas ka pujaari’ cannot be passed if he works on the script. I have challenged the norms of Bollywood." He also added, “If I wanted to earn money, I could've easily done that. I might even be able to buy a private jet, but I prefer to live an ordinary life. People are lining up to work with me, but I pass on at least 10-15 films a year. That is because despite having made my place in the film industry, I do not wish to compromise on my sanatan values. I pass on films that don't align with those values." Muntashir also said, “I will not earn money by compromising on my values. Even if that means I do not work on films." Saying that he not part of Bollywood, “I receive invitations from all parties but I never go. Manoj Muntashir is not part of Bollywood and people know this."
