Producer Alleges Negative Marketing Hurt Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha, Plans Re-releasePreviousNext

Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha, a mythological film released on September 25, faced negative reactions and underperformed at the box office. Producer Prakash Mahobiya alleged a negative marketing campaign involving YouTubers and influencers, possibly linked to competition from a big-budget Ramayana film starring Ranbir Kapoor. While not directly accusing the rival team, Mahobiya claimed misinformation discouraged audiences. Despite initial setbacks, the producer plans to re-release the film, emphasizing positive feedback from viewers who saw it.
