Ranbir Kapoor seems to have landed in hot water with Telugu moviegoers after his latest comment about Ramayana and Varanasi.
During an interview to promote Nitesh Tiwari’s epic, the actor said that while RRR opened doors for Indian cinema in international markets, Ramayana had now opened doors for Varanasi.
While the actor may have intended to highlight the growing global appeal of large-scale Indian films, his remark did not go down well with sections of the Telugu audience, particularly given that Varanasi is the much-awaited next directorial venture of S.S. Rajamouli, starring Mahesh Babu.
Fans were quick to question the need for Ramayana to open doors for a Rajamouli film, pointing out that the filmmaker had already put Indian cinema on the global map with RRR. The film’s international success, including its Oscar win for Naatu Naatu, speaks for itself. The remark was seen by some as an awkward comparison during an otherwise ambitious promotional campaign.
Highlight: Fans questioned why Rajamouli needed Ramayana to reach global audiences, pointing out that RRR had already put Indian cinema on the world map, with its Oscar-winning song Naatu Naatu.
