Mukesh Khanna questions Ranbir Kapoor's casting as Lord Ram

Helmed by Nitesh Tiwari, the movie stars Ranbir as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. Speaking to ANI, Mukesh Khanna acknowledged the film’s scale and the efforts behind its making, further maintaining that commercial success and extravagant production values cannot come at the cost of the original narrative. He even praised Ranbir's performance but observed that the actor appeared more like a warrior in a conventional Hindi film than the composed and dignified Lord Ram. "Ram was not a warrior. Ram was Maryada Purushottam. There was a calmness in his speech. Arun Govil caught it. He played Ramayana with a smile," Khanna stated.

He further questioned the role of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) in regulating cinematic representations of religious and mythological subjects. He argued that a separate, dedicated committee comprising scholars should be established to examine scripts and creative decisions before filmmakers are allowed to proceed with such projects.

The second installment of the movie will be released next year (2027) during Diwali.
