In a video shared on Instagram, Shiv Sagar reacted to Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana trailer and said, “I saw the trailer that was released yesterday, and of course, the trailer was much better than the teaser because the previous teaser they had put out had very little information. This was a longer trailer where we could see more of the characters, more of the VFX, and there was also the reveal of Ravan, who is played by Yash.
