The makers of Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha have responded to online trolling over a promotional poster that shows a member of the vanar sena wearing modern spectacles. Social media users mocked the image, questioning how glasses could exist in the Treta Yuga when the Ramayana is set. Director Abhishek Singh said the image is promotional artwork and not a frame from the film.
Speaking to India Today, Singh challenged critics to provide a screenshot or timestamp from an actual screening if the visual appears in the movie. He said criticism should be based on what audiences see on screen, not on promotional material. The team plans to release footage to show the difference between the poster and the actual film.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three sources report the same facts without editorial slant: the poster is promotional art, the makers deny it is in the film, and they challenge critics to provide proof. Hindustan Times and Times Now also mention the earlier controversy over Anjali Arora's casting as Sita, while Odisha TV references the upcoming Nitesh Tiwari Ramayana film. The coverage is uniform straight reporting. The makers have not yet released the promised comparison footage, which will be the next point of verification.
