He published a book titled ''Meri Fitrat Hai Mastana''<ref name="Muntashir11Feb2020" />

==Controversies==

===Dialogues of ''Adipurush''===

He wrote the dialogues of [[Om Raut|Om Raut's]] film ''[[Adipurush]]''. The dialogues of the film were criticised for being too flippant or unserious, and containing modern-day slang and lingo in a setting from centuries ago. Lines like ‘jalegi tere baap ki’, ‘teri bua ka bageecha hai kya’, and ‘Lanka laga denge’ being uttered by gods did not go down well with a large section of the viewers.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Meet Manoj , writer of Adipurush's 'cringe' dialogue, would take his shoes off out of respect when writing film |url=https://www.dnaindia.com/bollywood/report-meet-manoj-muntashir-writer-of-adipurush-s-much-criticised-dialogue-prabhas-om-raut-saif-ali-khan-vfx-3047970 |access-date=2023-06-17 |website=DNA India |language=en}}</ref>

Prem Sagar, whose father [[Ramanand Sagar]] directed the iconic television serial [[Ramayan (1987 TV series)|''Ramayan (1987)'']], questioned how Muntashir 'conceived such dialogues' in the film. Speaking with news agency [[Asian News International|ANI]], he said, “It might be a misjudgement that the younger generation would like it. But you can't do this with the audience. Don't say it is based on Valmiki Ramayan, give it any other name. Make it a fantasy film. But if you're making Ramayan then you cannot hurt the sentiments. People watch this with devotion".<ref>{{Cite web |title=How You Conceived Such Dialogues': Ramanand Sagar's Son To 'Adipurush' Writer Manoj Muntashir |url=https://www.outlookindia.com/art-entertainment/-how-you-conceived-such-dialogues-ramanand-sagar-s-son-to-adipurush-writer-manoj-muntashir-news-296562/amp}}</ref>

One of the lines in the movie, which refers to Sita as "[[India|Bharat]] ki beti," has caused anger among the people of [[Nepal]]. This is because Sita is believed to have been born in [[Janakpur]], which is located in present-day Nepal. Although the filmmakers agreed to remove that particular dialogue from the movie, another inaccurate statement about the sovereignty of Nepal has further infuriated the Nepalese people. In an interview on [[Aaj Tak]], Manoj attempted to dismiss the claims of the Nepalese people by incorrectly stating that Nepal was a part of "Bharat" until 1904 <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRJA8AyZqFo</ref> and mentioned that it separated from "Bharat". Manoj has been accused of misrepresenting historical facts, leading to calls for a ban on all Hindi movies in Nepal.<ref>https://kantipurtv.com/news/2023/06/19/1687139665.html</ref>

[[Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray)|Shiv Sena (UBT]]) MP [[Priyanka Chaturvedi]] criticized the makers for allegedly using "pedestrian dialogues" in the film. She also demanded an apology from the film's makers and said that the dialogues were disrespectful to the characters of the Hindu epic [[Ramayana]].<ref>{{Cite web |title="Apologise To The Nation": Team Uddhav Shreds 'Adipurush' Makers |url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/apologise-to-the-nation-team-uddhav-tears-into-adipurush-makers-4128867 |access-date=2023-06-17 |website=NDTV.com}}</ref> Similarly, [[Chhattisgarh]] CM [[Bhupesh Baghel]] alleged that dialogues in the film are "objectionable and indecent" and questioned the "silence" of political parties which call themselves the custodian of religion, an apparent jibe at the [[Bharatiya Janata Party|BJP]]. When asked by reporters whether the state government will ban this movie, Baghel said, "The government will think about it (ban) if people will raise a demand in this direction".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel slams 'Adipurush' over portrayal of Lord Ram, says govt will think about ban if people want |url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/india/chhattisgarh-chief-minister-bhupesh-baghel-slams-adipurush-over-portrayal-of-lord-ram-says-government-will-think-about-ban-if-people-want/cid/1945819 |access-date=2023-06-17 |website=www.telegraphindia.com |language=en}}</ref>

Responding to the criticism, he defended his work. In an interview with [[Republic TV|Republic World]], he said, "It is not an error. It is a very meticulous thought process that has gone into writing the dialogues for [[Hanuman|Bajrang Bali]] and for all the characters. We have made it simple because we have to understand one thing if there are multiple characters in a film, all cannot speak the same language. There has to be a kind of diversion, a kind of division."

Muntashir also mentioned, "Humare yahan daadiyan, naniyan jab Ramayan ki kathaye sunati thi, jo isi bhaasha mein sunaati thi. Yeh dialogue jiska aapne zikar kiya, yeh iss desh ke sant, bade bade katha vachak aisi hi bolte hai jaise maine likha hai (When our grandmothers narrated the tales of Ramayana, they used this language. The dialogue that you mentioned, priests and narrators used to say that in the same way I have written. I'm not the first one to write this dialogue, it's already there)."<ref>{{Citation |title=Adipurush makers Om Raut & Manoj Muntashir speak to Arnab Goswami {{!}} FULL INTERVIEW |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6G1eB_gkDM |access-date=2023-06-18 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Manoj Muntashir defends 'jali na' dialogue in Adipurush, says 'meticulous thought process has gone into...' |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/bollywood/story/manoj-muntashir-defends-jali-na-dialogue-in-adipurush-says-meticulous-thought-process-has-gone-into-2394309-2023-06-17 |access-date=2023-06-18 |website=India Today |language=en}}</ref>

However, later he announced that it has been decided that some lines of the dialogue in the film would be altered. In a statement on Twitter, he concluded, "I can give countless arguments in favour of my dialogues, but this will not reduce your pain. Me and the producer-director of the film have decided that some of the dialogues which are hurting you, We’ll revise them, and they’ll be added to the film this week. May Shri Ram bless you all!”<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-06-18 |title=Objectionable Adipurush dialogues to be altered after audience pushback, writer Manoj Muntashir says he has been judged on the basis of ‘five lines out of 4000’ |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/adipurush-dialogues-to-be-altered-after-audience-pushback-writer-manoj-muntashir-statement-8670670/ |access-date=2023-06-18 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref>

===Backtracking and making contradictory statements===

A video, which went viral on social media, showed Muntashir’s contrary statements on Adipurush. Over eight months ago, he had appeared for a TV interview along with director Om Raut, on [[ABP News|ABP news]] and said: “If people think we are trying to modernise the Ramayan, I want to tell them that not at all. We have presented the Ramayan just like how people heard in stories during their childhood.”

But in a recent interview with [[Aaj Tak]], Muntashir seemed to contradict himself by claiming that it wasn't an 'adaptation' of the epic, but an 'inspiration'. “The film’s name is Adipurush. Humne Ramayan nahi banayi hai. Hum Ramayan se prerit hai (We have not made the Ramayan; we are just inspired by it),” he said.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-06-21 |title=Adipurush Lyricist Manoj Muntashir Backtracks On His Claim, Says 'Humne Ramayan Nahi Banayi' |url=https://www.news18.com/movies/adipurush-lyricist-manoj-muntashir-backtracks-on-his-claim-says-humne-ramayan-nahi-banayi-8128405.html |access-date=2023-06-24 |website=News18 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Team |first=Koimoi com |date=2023-06-18 |title=Adipurush Writer Manoj Muntashir Says "Humne Ramayana Nahi Banayi, We’re Heavily Inspired" While Addressing Controversies Around It, Shocked Netizens React: "You’re Shameless" |url=https://www.koimoi.com/bollywood-news/adipurush-writer-manoj-muntashir-says-humne-ramayana-nahi-banayi-were-heavily-inspired-while-addressing-controversies-around-it-shocked-netizens-react-youre-shameless/ |access-date=2023-06-24 |website=Koimoi |language=en-US}}</ref>

===Claiming that Lord Hanuman is 'not a god'===

In another interview with Aaj Tak, he tried to defend the dialogues of Adipurush. It was during this time that he also claimed that Bajrang bali or Lord Hanuman is ‘not a god’ but is considered one because of the power of his ‘bhakti’ for Lord Ram. He said, “Bajrang bali bhagwaan nahi hai, bhakt hai. Humne unko bhagwaan banaya hai kyuki unki bhakti mein woh power tha (Lord Hanuman is not God but a mere devotee. We made him God because his devotion had that power).”<ref>{{Cite web |title=Adipurush dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir says Bajrangbali ‘bhagwan nahi hai’, draws flak |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/celebrities/story/adipurush-dialogue-writer-manoj-muntashir-says-bajrangbali-bhagwan-nahi-hai-draws-flak-2395453-2023-06-20 |access-date=2023-06-24 |website=India Today |language=en}}</ref> This statement led to a political slugfest, where the [[Aam Aadmi Party|AAP]] and [[Indian National Congress|Congress]] attacked the governing [[Bharatiya Janata Party|BJP]] for ‘blessing’ the movie whose makers don’t consider Bajrang Bali as God.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-06-21 |title=Lord Hanuman not a God, says Adipurush dialogue writer, sparks controversy |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/national/lord-hanuman-not-a-god-says-adipurush-dialogue-writer-sparks-controversy-1229888.html |access-date=2023-06-24 |website=Deccan Herald |language=en}}</ref>

While the [[Shiva Purana]] specifically refers to Hanuman as an 'incarnation' of [[Shiva]], other Puranas and scriptures provide alternative perspectives. According to these sources, Bajrang bali is commonly regarded as the spiritual son of [[Vayu]], the deity of wind, or as an incarnation of Vayu himself. In some instances, Hanuman is also identified as an avatar of [[Rudra]], another name associated with Vayu.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mukhopadhyay |first=Sounak |date=2023-06-21 |title=Hanuman-ji not God?
