Mukesh Khanna criticises Ranbir Kapoor climbing trees, shooting arrows in Ramayana: ‘Agar aapne Rama ko Yodha bataya…’

When it was announced that Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor has been roped in as Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana with Rocking Star Yash as Ravana and Sai Pallavi as Sita, netizens were intrigued. This was followed by leaked images from the set which further raised the anticipation for the magnum opus.

Last month, makers finally dropped a teaser presenting RK’s first look as Ram, running up a tree and shooting an arrow from his bow. Fans were quite impressed and eagerly waited for Ramayana: Part 1. But Ranbir’s first look failed to leave a lasting impression on Shaktimaan star Mukesh Khanna.

In a recent chat with Galatta India, actor Mukesh Khanna shared his thoughts about Ranbir Kapoor depicting Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana. The OG Shaktimaan was quoted saying, “You are depicting Ram climbing a tree and shooting arrows. That is something Krishna or Arjuna might do, but not Ram. If Ram were depicted as a warrior, he would not have sought the help of monkeys; he would have fought Ravana single-handedly. If Ram is described as a warrior, people will not accept it.”
