The upcoming two-part epic film ‘Ramayana’, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, has been the subject of both social media controversy and high-profile promotional activity. In mid-September, an old video from 2023 resurfaced showing actor Ranbir Kapoor declining religious prasad during a Ganpati puja, citing his diet. This led to criticism from some social media users who linked his refusal to his upcoming role as Lord Ram, though others defended the actor’s personal choice. By late September, promotional Promotional efforts for the film intensified in Mumbai with a launch event featuring Kapoor and American YouTuber MrBeast. The event included the unveiling of character posters for the lead cast and discussions on the cultural significance of Dharma. However, September 26, but the promotion event faced disruption when a multi-hour delay, reportedly caused significant disruption. A scheduled 1:30 pm start was delayed by four to five hours, reportedly because international content creator MrBeast missing missed a private flight, resulted in flight. Frustration grew among journalists due to a lack of official updates and a perceived dismissive attitude from the PR crew. Tensions escalated when Ranbir Kapoor allegedly remarked, ‘Aap logon ko jana hai toh chale jao’ (If you people want to leave, you can leave) following reports of a media walkout by protesting journalists. The first installment walkout. As a result, the planned one-hour press session was reduced to only ten minutes. Despite the friction, the event included Kapoor interacting with MrBeast and lifting a replica of the production Shiv Dhanush. The film, produced by Namit Malhotra and starring Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash, is expected to be released release its first installment around Diwali in November 2026.
