Mukesh Khanna has shifted his focus to another A-lister, and this time it is Ranbir Kapoor, who will be seen playing Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana

Mukesh Khanna not convinced with Ranbir`s casting in Ramayan
Mukesh Khanna, in an interview with us at Mid-Day, revealed that he isn't okay with Ranbir Kapoor being cast in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana. Khanna has been making headlines for quite some time now. Recently, Sonakshi Sinha called out the actor for making distasteful comments about her after an episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati, where she couldn't answer the question regarding who Hanuman brought the Sanjeevani herb for in Ramayana. Now, as the Shaktimaan star has issued an apology, he has shifted his focus to another A-lister, and this time it is Ranbir Kapoor, who will be seen playing Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana.
In a chat with us at Mid-Day, Mukesh indirectly called Ranbir 'lampat chhichhora' and said, “What Arun Govil did with the role has become the gold standard. All I can say is that whoever plays Ram must embody Ram; he shouldn’t look like Raavan. In their real life, if they are a (lampat chhichhora) lewd hooligan, then it will show on screen. If you’re playing Ram, you’re not allowed to party and drink. But who am I to decide who plays Ram?”
