On Saturday, Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut expressed her disapproval of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana on Instagram, particularly regarding Ranbir Kapoor being cast as Lord Ram. She referred to him as a “skinny white rat” and criticized the makers for offering him the lead role.
In her post, Kangana wrote, “Recently I am hearing news about another coming up Bolly Ramayana…… Where a skinny white rat (so called actor) who desperately needs some sun tan and conscience he is infamous for doing nasty under hand PR about almost every one in the industry… known for womanising and drug addiction after desperately trying to prove himself lord shiva in a trilogy (which no one watched or want to make more parts of ) has now grown fancy to be Lord Rama… Whereas a young southern superstar who is known to be self made, a devoted family man a traditionalist also according to Valmiki ji discription he looks more like Lord Rama in his complexion, demeanour and facial features….. is offered to play Ravana.”
She further added, “What kind of Kalyuga is this?? No pale looking druggie soy boy should play lord Rama ….Jai Shri Ram.”
Kangana’s post quickly went viral, and many netizens came forward to express their agreement with her statements.

One user wrote, “Ranbir shouldn’t play Ram. No one will say it aloud, but he’s too old for the role and he looks hungover all the time. Also, I am really done with Bollywood going to him and his mediocre wife with all the big movies.” Another user wrote, “Yeah the worst was his last movie with Shraddha. That role was suitable for a newcomer not a 40+ year old.”

A netizen wrote, “She’s somewhere right. Not defending her crass language but Ranbir is a misfit along with Alia.” Another user wrote, “Ranbir has on-screen chemistry with everyone but his irl wife Alia.” Someone wrote, “Despite everything, Kangana is right about one thing – the description of lord Ram does not match with Ranbir Kapoor even 1%. What would it take for Bollywood to cast a fresh face who knows acting and genuinely looks like Ram.”
Is Ranbir Kapoor a good fit to play Ram? What do you think? Tell us in the comments below.
