Mukesh Khanna lashes out at Ranbir Kapoor as Ram: “A person with a negative personality…”
Ranbir Kapoor’s “Ramayana” will be released as two separate films: part one in 2026 and part two in 2027.
Mukesh Khanna has reservations about Ranbir Kapoor’s having been cast as Lord Ram for the upcoming Ramayana adaptation. Mukesh argued in a recent interview that any negative publicity to have arisen from Ranbir’s latest blockbuster, Animal, could also affect this ambitious project positively or negatively. To read further: Ranbir Kapoor finally talks about playing Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, says he has finished shooting part 1.
Ranbir, to speak for himself about taking the part
The actor has come to share in the interview with Midday concerning the inability of his friend, Ranbir, to speak for himself about taking the part. He went ahead to share with his very visible concerns about Ranbir being very impossible to cut out from the image of his real life.
“I won’t say a word on this as if I say anything, they will call me a person commenting on everyone and everything. They have brought down my reputation. Recently, I said something about Jackie Shroff’s son … but I am not rude; I just speak my mind. If they are making a Ramayana, comparisons to Arun Govil are inevitable.” this he said refers to the actor who played Ram in the famous televised adaptation of this epic.
Mukesh said that if “they are a lampat chhichhora
As per Mukesh, Arun Govil’s enactment has now established the gold standard, before adding that anyone who plays the part of Ram “should not necessarily look like Raavan.” In what seems to be a dig at Ranbir, Mukesh said that if “they are a lampat chhichhora in real life, then it will show on screen,” and added that if one plays Ram, one should not party and drink.
Mukesh went on to state, using Prabhas’s failure in Adipurush as an example, “He was not accepted by the public even being such a huge star. Not because he is a bad actor, but because he does not look like Ram. The actor now playing Ram is a beacon of the Kapoor family. He is a fine actor.” But I will look at his face and he should look like Ram. Just after doing Animal, that person has been really given his dark character in that film. I hope that does not do anything here.
About the Ramayana movie
It is revealed that Sai Pallavi plays Sita on Ramayana film. Yash confirmed that he has been cast to play Ravana in the film. Lara Dutta will be seen as Kaikeyi, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Sheeba Chaddha will enact the role of Manthara.

The very eagerly awaited magnum opus by Nitesh Tiwari is going to be released in two parts. The first one shall release in theatres in the year 2026, while the Part Two of the film shall be released in 2027.
In an interview with Deadline, Ranbir spoke about being cast for the role of Lord Ram for the first time in his life. He added that he had completed the shooting of part one and said that he would be shooting part 2 soon.
“I am currently working on a film called Ramayan, which is India’s greatest story. It’s being produced by Namit Malhotra…It’s got artists, creators and different crew members from all around the world. It’s made over two parts. It’s the story of Lord Ram and Raavan and it’s India’s greatest story. And to say it to this new generation with the kind of technology that we have it’s a very exciting and very gratifying opportunity for me as an actor, especially to play the part of Lord Ram, said Ranbir.
