Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha Team Clarifies Viral Poster Row
Bharatmorning.com – Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha has found itself at the centre of an online debate after a promotional image from the film attracted attention for an unusual visual detail. The poster, which features Sugriva and members of the Vanar Sena, appears to show one character in spectacles. Social media users quickly questioned the modern-looking accessory in a story associated with the Treta Yuga.
The film, directed by Abhishek Singh, arrived in Indian theatres without major pre-release buzz. However, the conversation around it grew rapidly after the poster began circulating widely online. The makers now maintain that the disputed visual is not part of the finished film and should not be presented as evidence of what audiences see in theatres.
Makers Ask Critics to Identify an Actual Film Scene
On September 27, the production team addressed the controversy and challenged viewers to point to a specific moment from a theatre screening if they believe the glasses appear in the movie itself. Their central objection is that promotional artwork has been confused with an on-screen sequence.
If this visual really appears in the film, please share a genuine theatre-captured screenshot or give the exact scene and timestamp where a Vanar Sena member is shown wearing glasses. We will respond publicly.
The team said that repeatedly circulating a promotional image as though it were a frame from the feature could mislead audiences. They stressed that criticism is welcome, but argued that it should be rooted in the film rather than isolated artwork, edited material or other promotional assets.
Abhishek Singh also defended the makers’ right to clarify the distinction. He said filmmakers understand that viewers will have different reactions to their work, but added that the debate should concern the version people have actually watched.
Criticism is part of filmmaking and none of us expect everyone to have the same opinion. But criticism should be directed at the film people have actually watched.
The team has indicated that it intends to share footage from the film to demonstrate how the theatrical visuals differ from the poster now being discussed online. That move could help settle whether the contentious design element was confined to the campaign artwork or has any connection to the final movie.
Why the Poster Triggered Questions
The image places Sugriva, the king of the vanars, at the forefront. Behind him stands a soldier who appears in human form and seems to be wearing contemporary spectacles. For many users, that detail became the focus of the image because the Ramayana is traditionally situated in the Treta Yuga.
Some responses questioned whether spectacles could fit within that setting, while others treated the image as a joke. One user wrote, “Treta yug me bhi chashma lagate the,” expressing surprise at the suggestion that glasses might have existed in the Treta Yuga. Another commenter asked, “Am I hallucinating or do you all genuinely see #him?” A separate post mocked the apparent accessory by referring to the Vanar Sena wearing glasses.
The response highlights how promotional material can shape public impressions before audiences have had the opportunity to evaluate a film in full. A poster is often designed to communicate mood, character and scale in a single glance, but details that seem minor to a campaign team can become a larger issue when a mythological adaptation is involved. In stories carrying deep religious and cultural significance, viewers often examine costume choices, character portrayals and visual design particularly closely.
Earlier Discussion Around Anjali Arora’s Casting
This is not the first online discussion surrounding Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha. The casting of Anjali Arora as Sita had also generated reactions when it was announced. Arora is widely known for her appearance on Lock Upp and for her association with the viral Kacha Badam trend, rather than for a conventional film-acting career.
Some social media users questioned whether she suited the role of Sita. Arora addressed those comments at the film’s trailer launch, saying she did not take the criticism personally because public figures are open to public judgment.
No, I didn’t feel sad about it because we are public figures, and we have given the public a right to judge us.
She said audiences are free to respond positively or negatively, while actors must commit fully to the roles they accept. Arora also asked viewers to separate her public image from her performance as Sita when they watch the film. Her stated aim was for audiences to see the character rather than the personality they may know from social media.
Film’s Story and Cast
Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha – Shri Ram Ki is presented in part as a film intended to connect with younger viewers. Its story centres on Shashwat, a young boy who learns about Lord Ram through Hanuman. Hanuman appears before the child in the form of a sage and narrates the tale.
Alongside Anjali Arora as Sita, the film stars Dev Sharma as Ram. Sheel Verma portrays Lakshman, Nirbhay Wadhwa plays Hanuman, and Rajniesh Duggal takes on the role of Ravan.
For now, the makers’ response places the focus back on the theatrical release itself. Their position is clear: viewers may question the adaptation, its casting or its creative decisions, but they want those discussions to be based on scenes present in the film rather than on a widely shared promotional poster.
