Lara Dutta's Kaikeyi look in 'Ramayana' trailer sparks debate

Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana' trailer was released, and Lara Dutta's portrayal of Queen Kaikeyi is generating mixed reactions on social media.

Lara Dutta's Kaikeyi wears a green blouse with a maroon saree and straightened side-combed hair, which some viewers consider too modern for the Treta Yuga.

The film is set to release in two parts: the first in October 2026 before Diwali, and the second on Diwali 2027.

The cast includes Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol, Ravie Dubey, and Yash in pivotal roles.

Kaikeyi's decisions lead to Lord Ram's exile, and her character's motivations are anticipated in the two-part film.
