3 Aug 2026 Punjab Khabarnama Bureau : The Ramlila Mahasangh has warned the makers of Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, that it could launch protests unless representatives are allowed to view the film before its public release.
The organisation said the demand is aimed at ensuring that the epic’s characters and religious sentiments are portrayed respectfully.
Demand for a Pre-Release Screening
According to the Mahasangh, a special screening should be organised for its representatives before the film reaches theatres.
The group said such a screening would help address concerns over the depiction of the Ramayana and avoid any potential controversy after release.
Warning of Protests
The organisation cautioned that if its request is ignored, it may stage protests against the film.
However, it has not announced any specific dates or details regarding possible demonstrations.
One of the Year’s Biggest Releases
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana is among the most anticipated Indian films, featuring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana.
The recently released trailer has generated significant excitement among audiences.
Makers Yet to Respond
The filmmakers have not officially responded to the Mahasangh’s demand for a pre-release screening.
The issue has sparked discussion online, with some supporting the call for consultation while others argue that the film should be judged after its official release.
