Even before Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash's much-anticipated film 'Ramayana' hits theatres, another adaptation based on the epic has already made its theatrical debut. We are talking about 'Mahakavya Shri Ramayana Katha', starring Anjali Arora, Dev Sharma, and Rajneesh Duggal in pivotal roles.
The Blunder That Caught Netizens' Eyes
Just a day before its release, the makers unveiled a new poster revealing various characters, including Sugriva. However, a minor oversight in the background caught the sharp eyes of social media users instantly.
Internet users quickly spotted a person wearing modern glasses in the background of the poster, leading to hilarious reactions and relentless trolling. People flooded comment sections asking sarcastically where glasses came from during the Treta Yuga era. One user wrote, "At least they should have edited out the glasses! Have some shame." The hilarious editing fail quickly became a viral internet sensation.
Controversy Surrounding Anjali Arora's Casting
This poster gaffe is not the only reason 'Mahakavya Shri Ramayana Katha' has been trending online. Ever since the teaser dropped, the film's casting choices have invited public debate, particularly Anjali Arora essaying the revered role of Mata Sita. Known widely for her viral dance videos and social media fame, her transition into a mythological character drew mixed reactions from the audience.
Addressing the online backlash during a promotional event, Anjali stated that she respects audience opinions and has given her 100 percent to the role, leaving the final judgment to the viewers once they experience the film.
