The trailer for Times of India reports Times Now News confirms Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha dropped ahead of its September 25, 2026 theatrical release across India in Hindi and Chhattisgarhi. Dev Sharma stars as Shri Ram, Anjali Arora as Mata Sita, Rajniesh Duggall as Ravan, Sheel Verma as Lakshman and Nirbhay Wadhwa as Hanuman. The film follows Ram and Sita's exile, Sita's abduction, and the final battle between dharma and adharma.
Director Abhishek Singh emphasized the film prioritizes the emotional "Katha Bhav" devotional essence of the Ramayan over visual spectacle, according to Republic World. Meanwhile, Anjali Arora defended her casting against online criticism, telling audiences to judge her acting separately from her viral dance videos and social media presence.
Anjali Arora Addresses Criticism Over Viral Fame
Arora, who rose to fame through her "Kacha Badam" dance reel and appeared as a finalist on reality show Lock Upp, faced backlash for her casting as Sita. Republic World reported Arora said: "I didn't do anything different; I just followed the trend... But that's not my whole life." She emphasized the reel represents only part of her social media presence, not her entire identity.
According to MensXP, Dev Sharma was previously rejected for Lakshman roles in both Adipurush and Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana because casting directors deemed him too tall and large compared to the leads. His casting in Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha marks a major breakthrough after these rejections.
