Apology explained
'I apologized to Tim for being the evil villain...'

The film, led by Prabhas, was ridiculed online and created an uproar upon its release in 2023.
It was directed by Om Raut and featured Khan as Lankesh.

Earlier, Khan had said, "I just showed him Adipurush recently. Then, after some time, he started giving me a look. So I said, 'Yeah, sorry.' He said, 'It's okay.' He forgave me."
The movie was a retelling of the Ramayana, but failed to click with the viewers.
