Ramayana Movie Row Escalates: Casting, Characterisation And Religious Sentiments In Focus | News18

Nitesh Tiwari's ambitious cinematic adaptation of the Ramayana, featuring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita and Yash as Ravana, has sparked a major debate even before its release. Questions over casting, character portrayals and creative liberties with the epic have triggered criticism across social media and drawn reactions from prominent personalities. One of the biggest controversies surrounds Sai Pallavi's portrayal of Sita. An action sequence showing Sita fighting demons has attracted criticism from veteran actor Mukesh Khanna, who argues that the traditional account of the Ramayana does not depict her as a warrior. The filmmakers, however, have defended their creative approach, reportedly pointing to alternative interpretations, including the Adbhuta Ramayana. #Ramayana #RamayanaMovie #RamayanaControversy #RanbirKapoor #SaiPallavi #Yash #NiteshTiwari #MukeshKhanna #SunilLahri #LordRama #MataSita n18oc_the_right_stand News18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube CNN-News18 is your trusted source for breaking news, updates, and in-depth analysis from around the world.
