Ranbir Kapoor Urged to Ditch Live Action Animals in Ramayana

The trailer of Nitesh Tiwari's epic adaptation of Ramayana is out, but concerns are being raised about the use of live action animals in the film. Meanwhile, the hype surrounding the movie is expected to secure a big opening.

The wait is finally over for the trailer of Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, and it has generated a mixed response from audiences and trade experts alike. Despite this, there's no denying that the hype surrounding the film has been significant, thanks to the glimpses and news reports that have been making waves before its release. As we delve into the trailer, a pressing concern has started to gain attention – the use of live action animals in the film.

Industry experts are warning Ranbir Kapoor, the lead actor, to avoid repeating the same mistakes that led to criticisms in his previous projects. It seems that Nitish Bharadwaj, who played Lord Krishna in the 1987 television series, is also being compared to the actor's character in the upcoming movie. While comparisons can be inevitable, the real question on everyone's mind is whether Ramayana will manage to live up to the expectations of the audience.

The trailer promises an epic adaptation of the classic tale, with breathtaking visuals and a powerful storyline. However, only time will tell if the film will be able to withstand the scrutiny of audiences and critics alike. With the hype surrounding Ramayana being as high as it is, one thing is certain – the film's opening is expected to be massive, regardless of the mixed reviews it has received so far.
