Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana Release Details, Prasad Controversy, and Casting Insights
Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, is set for release with both Hindi and English versions. The English cut will be about 30 minutes shorter and exclude songs to suit international audiences. Ranbir Kapoor has faced criticism over a resurfaced video of him declining Ganpati prasad due to dieting, which sparked debate on social media. Co-stars and industry figures have defended him, while actress Anjali Arora emphasized prasad as a blessing. Meanwhile, actor Dev Sharma revealed he was rejected for Lakshman roles in Ramayana and Adipurush due to his height. The film's music, including a devotional song by Arijit Singh, has garnered attention ahead of its release.
