The much-anticipated film, which commenced filming last month, is already making waves as one of the most expensive Indian productions. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana is reportedly being crafted into three parts, with the first installment alone costing over Rs 800 crores, nearly matching the box office collection of Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal. For those unfamiliar, Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita. According to reports, Nitesh Tiwari is investing a whopping Rs 835 crore in Ramayana. However, it is not yet confirmed.

Actor Manoj Bajpayee has weighed in on the controversy surrounding the Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal, which has faced criticism for numerous scenes from a section of the internet. Some have strongly criticized almost every aspect of the movie, labeling it "problematic," particularly in its treatment of women. In an interaction with Pinkvilla, Manoj Bajpayee responded to the criticism of the film, stating, "I am very clear: if many people disagree or don’t like a film, what’s wrong with that? The film is released, does its business, and moves on. The money goes into the producer’s pocket; let them take it; they invested in the movie." He further added, "If you don’t want to watch it, then don’t. If you disagree with something, it’s better not to watch it, but don’t create trouble for the movie. You will only be encouraging a bad notion by doing so. What if others hinder your work in the same way? There should be open discourse without calls for bans or protests."
