Ranbir Kapoor's anticipated film 'Ramayana' has encountered backlash following its teaser premiere in Los Angeles. This decision has disappointed many fans who questioned the choice to unveil an Indian epic overseas before its domestic release. The teaser, scheduled for an Indian release on April 2, was shown in LA first, sparking criticism on social media.
Fans argued that prioritizing an international audience for a culturally significant film felt inappropriate. Some perceived the move as commercial, aimed at overseas markets and NRIs, while others called it 'disrespectful.' The film, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita. Yash will portray Ravana.
'Ramayana' is planned as a two-part epic, with the first installment set for a theatrical release this Diwali. The second part is expected in Diwali 2027. Despite the controversy, the project continues to generate buzz due to its ambitious scale, star-studded cast, and adaptation of a revered epic. The teaser controversy has amplified anticipation for the film's official Indian release.
