Actor Mukesh Khanna has expressed anger at the makers of “Ramayana” over a depiction of Mata Sita fighting demons and wielding a sword, even as the Ranbir Kapoor starrer continues to earn heavily, having crossed Rs 663.90 crore worldwide.
“Valmiki Ramayana Never Shows Sita as a Warrior”
In the film, Sai Pallavi, who plays Sita, is shown fighting demons and doing swordplay. Khanna says the Valmiki Ramayana nowhere portrays Sita as a warrior, and that her personality has been a symbol of sacrifice, patience and dignity.
Accuses Makers of Altering Religious Texts for Profit
He alleged that the makers are tampering with religious texts and the original story at will in pursuit of earnings. He said everyone has seen what happened to “Adipurush,” so producers should avoid such mistakes.
Earlier Objections on Budget and Cast
Khanna had previously objected to the film’s large budget, VFX and starcast, including Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram. He had said that epics should not be played with merely for making money or for show.
