'Ranbir Kapoor's Lord Ram seems weak': Ramlila body demands pre-release screening of Ramayana, warns of protests
Shri Ramlila Mahasangh has written to the makers of Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana requesting a special screening before release, warning of protests if not considered.
The organisation's president, Arjun Kumar, described Ranbir Kapoor's portrayal of Lord Ram as 'weak' and lacking gravitas.
The group cited the failure of Adipurush, starring Prabhas, due to objectionable content like the depiction of Lanka in black and Mughal-era features, as a cautionary example.
The Ramlila Committee plans to arrange free screenings for thousands and promote the film if their request for a pre-release screening is met.
The film is set for release on Diwali this year and has landed in controversy ahead of its launch.
