Mukesh Khanna slams modern twist to Sai Pallavi’s character

Taking to his vlog, Mukesh Khanna slammed the Ramayana filmmaker for taking liberties with the revered text and adding their own interpretations. He said, "Sita is shown fighting two or three demons, engaging in combat, striking them, and kicking them. All of this is being done by Sita. I was also astonished by this. The person who wrote about it seemed even more shocked than I was. I looked into what he said and saw that Sita was indeed shown fighting them," he continued.

Khanna argued, "I checked. Nothing like this exists in Valmiki's Ramayana. As far as I know and from everything I have read, Sita never fought anyone. She was the wife of Maryada Purushottam Ram, who exemplified devotion and willingly accompanied her husband into exile for 14 years. Not because of any fault of her own, but because Ram wished to fulfil the promise his father had made to Kaikeyi. This is the story of Maryada Purushottam Ram, and Sita chose to stay by his side. She never asked for royal comforts or privileges."

The second instalment of the movie will be released in 2027 during Diwali.
