Mukesh Khanna Criticises 'Ramayana', Questions Its Reported ₹4,000-Crore Budget

Actor Mukesh Khanna questioned the grand scale and reported ₹4,000-crore budget of the recently released 'Ramayana' film while speaking in Mumbai. He argued that filmmakers adapting religious epics such as the Ramayana and Mahabharata have a responsibility to remain faithful to their original stories. Khanna said box office earnings and lavish production values should not overshadow the emotions and essence of the narrative, warning against altering or misrepresenting the scriptures.
