Actress Nikita Rawal has criticised Ranbir Kapoor’s proposed casting as Lord Rama in Ramayana, citing an old remark about beef. NDTV reports that Rawal called the remark incompatible with the role and demanded an apology from Kapoor. The report does not provide details of the old remark or say whether Kapoor has responded to Rawal’s comments. It also does not establish whether her demand will affect the casting or production of Ramayana.
