Mukesh Khanna On Nitesh Tiwari’s Sita
Mukesh Khanna often shares his thoughts and opinions on social media. Recently, he spoke about Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, and specifically the depiction of Sita. He shared his thoughts in his recent vlog and addressed the conversation around Ramayana. According to him, the conversations should not focus on the earnings of the film or its investment, but on whether the story was told correctly or not. Mukesh Khanna also raised questions about the portrayal of Sita as a warrior. The actor said that he had read Valmiki’s Ramayana and there was no mention of Sita fighting. He further added that if Sita was a fighter, why would she not fight Ravan when he was abducting her. He also described Sita as the wife of a man with ideals and as a devoted wife. The actor bashed the makers for taking creative liberty with Valmiki’s Ramayana and adding their own adaptation to it.
For the unversed, Ramayana will release in two parts, and the second is scheduled to hit theatres in Diwali 2028. It also stars Lara Dutta, Sunny Deol, Arun Govil, and Vivek Oberoi.
