Actress Kangana Ranaut shared a post on September 18 that hinted at a potential jab at Ranbir Kapoor's upcoming Ramayana film. The BJP MP was seen criticizing the modern costuming choices in films based on religious stories. In the video, she praised the traditional presentation of mythology in older movies but took issue with contemporary productions dressing characters in trendy, TV serial-style attire.
Though she didn't name any specific actors or films, her comments triggered speculation, especially after the trailer for Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana released. Critics have pointed to the costumes worn by Sai Pallavi and Lara Dutta as potential targets for Ranaut's critique. However, the film's designers have defended their choices, stating the modernized looks were driven by creative decisions and the need to appeal to a global audience, rather than a disregard for historical accuracy.
Kangana had previously voiced her dissatisfaction with Ranbir Kapoor being cast as Lord Ram in the film, accusing him of lacking the right temperament for the role and previously criticizing his portrayal of Lord Shiva in Brahmastra.
