Mukesh Khanna, who frequently voices his opinions on Hindi films, particularly those based on mythological texts, has raised objections to Mata Sita’s action sequence in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana. In his latest vlog, the Shaktimaan star argued that Valmiki’s Ramayana doesn’t portray Sita as a warrior. He criticised producer Namit Malhotra for claiming that the particular sequence was not inspired by Valmiki’s text. Accusing the makers of altering the Indian epic's narrative to suit their creative vision, Khanna questioned their approach to the film. He further alleged that the makers were more focused on recovering the reported Rs 4,000 crore budget than preserving the authenticity of the story.

Mukesh Khanna questions Ramayana makers

Sharing a video of himself on the YouTube channel Bheeshm International, Mukesh Khanna strongly objected to Sita Maa’s warrior portrayal in Ramayana and said, "Ramayana film release hui jisse Ramayan kaha jaa raha hai aur uske andar poore desh mein behes chidi hui hai aur main mudda kamayi ka ho gaya hai ki humne banaya hai Rs 400 crore ya Rs 4000 crore usko kaise wapis laaye. Yeh mudda ban gaya hai. Yeh nahi ki hum apko Ramayana ki katha theek theek suna rahe ya nahi."
