Shiv Sagar, grandson of the late filmmaker Ramanand Sagar, has publicly stated he cannot accept Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram in the upcoming Ramayana adaptation.
He cited Kapoor's 'baggage' from previous roles as a reason for his skepticism, suggesting the casting choice may not resonate with traditional audiences.
The comments have sparked a debate on social media regarding the casting of iconic mythological figures in modern Indian cinema.
