Nitesh Tiwari's highly anticipated film 'Ramayana' has ignited controversy surrounding Ranbir Kapoor's portrayal of Lord Ram. Leaked images circulating on Reddit have drawn sharp criticism from netizens regarding Kapoor's wig and costume. Critics expressed disappointment, drawing parallels to the reception of Prabhas's 'Adipurush,' which underperformed at the box office.
The leaked visuals depict Ranbir Kapoor in a saffron dhoti, janeu, and a black cape, with a wig that has become a focal point of online derision. The sentiment on Reddit suggests a lack of improvement in Bollywood's handling of such iconic characters, with many users lamenting the perceived missteps.
'Ramayana' boasts an ensemble cast including Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman. The film is scheduled for a worldwide release in October 2026. The production features a distinguished technical team, including Oscar-winning composers Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman, and stunt director Guy Norris.
