Anjali Arora, who rose to fame with her viral “Kacha Badam” dance video and later appeared in Lock Upp, has been cast as Mata Sita in the upcoming mythological film Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha – Shri Ram Ki. Actor Dev Sharma plays Lord Ram.
The film’s teaser, released recently, shows glimpses of Ram-Sita’s wedding, exile, and the abduction, but netizens have reacted strongly against the casting. Many called it “pure mockery,” “blasphemy,” and “Ghor Kalyug,” arguing that a social media influencer known for bold content is unsuitable for the revered role of Sita. Comparisons to the backlash faced by Adipurush have also surfaced.
Critics question the makers’ sensitivity toward religious sentiments, while some defend the decision as a modern casting choice. The film, directed by Abhishek Singh, is scheduled for theatrical release on September 25. The controversy continues to dominate social media discussions.
