Mukesh Chhabra’s Controversial Remarks on Ravana in Ranbir Kapoor's ‘Ramayana’ Stir Backlash and Criticism

Mukesh Chhabra gave an objectionable statement

It is discussed that ‘KGF’ fame Yash will be seen in the role of Ravana in the film. When Mukesh was asked what things did he keep in mind for the casting of Ravana and what did he choose based on what? On this Mukesh said, ‘Man, he too was in love, wasn’t he? He wanted revenge, but he was also in love. As far as I understand Ravana, he was evil and vindictive, but his revenge was motivated by love for his sister. ‘He did what he had to do for his sister. He was also fine from his side. In war, both sides believe they are right. But ultimately, Ravana was motivated by love.’

Saif was in bad trouble during Adipurush

Let us tell you that Mukesh Chhabra is not the first person to speak in favor of Ravana. A few years ago, actor Saif Ali Khan had also given a similar statement. He played the role of Ravana in the film Adipurush.

Talking to a news website on this, Saif said, ‘It is interesting to play the role of a demon king. There are not many restrictions on this. But we will humanize it and increase the level of entertainment. He would justify the abduction of Sita and the war with Ram, which for him was revenge for Lakshman’s treatment of his sister Surpanakha.’ There was a lot of protest over this and Saif later had to apologize for his statement.

When will the film be released?

KGF star Yash is associated with Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana as a co-producer. There is news that the actor can also play the role of Ravana. Although there is no official information about this. Ranbir Kapoor will be seen as Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita in the film. The release date of Ramayana has not been announced yet, but the film is likely to be released in theaters in 2027.
