18 June 2024 Punjab Khabarnama : Filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming film, Ramayana, continues to create buzz for various reasons. Recently, actor Dipika Chikjlia, known for playing the role of Sita in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan expressed her displeasure that people keep remaking Ramayana and she said that they are making a “mess of it”.
And now, veteran actor Sunil Lahri aka Laxman, has come forth and shared hes views about the much talked about Ranbir Kapoor-starrer. Calling Ranbir as Ram “unacceptable to the audience,” Lahri says, “From the poster, I liked his look. It’s very nice and since he’s so smart, he will look perfect in that role. But, I don’t know how much people will accept him as Ram.”

Explaining his point, the actor reasons, “I feel that you should take someone that has no image or baggage. It works better. No doubt Ranbir is a great actor with a big legacy of his family and work he ahs done. I’m sure he will do justice, but again, it is the perception of people that you can’t change. He has to crush his earlier performances and come out with this. And especially, after doing something like Animal recently, it will be very difficult for people to see him in such an opposite role as Lord Ram.”
Alongside Kapoor, actor Sai Pallavi is set to step into the character of Sita, as fans also got to see her look in some leaked photos. “I don’t know how she is as an actress, I have never seen any of her work. But, looks wise, I am honestly not very convinced. In my mind, Sita has a very beautiful and perfect looking face, and I don’t think Sai’s face has that perfection,” the 63-year-old opines, adding, “In Indian mindsets, all the Devis are out of this world, it should be extraordinary. I don’t know how they are going to make this actress look that attractive that Raavan would fall for her.”
