    Nitesh Tiwari’s highly anticipated film, Ramayana, continues to capture the public’s attention with its stellar casting. Ranbir Kapoor is set to portray Lord Ram, while Sai Pallavi will play Maa Sita. The casting buzz doesn’t stop there—rumors suggest that KGF star Yash might take on the role of Ravana. Amidst all this excitement, casting director Mukesh Chhabra has made a surprising statement about Ravana that has left many talking.

    Mukesh Chhabra’s Surprising Take on Ravana

    During a podcast with Ranveer Allahbadia, Mukesh Chhabra, known for his work on films like Dil Bechara, discussed the intricate casting process for Ramayana. During the conversation, he offered an unexpected perspective on the character of Ravana. Chhabra said, “Ravana was also right in his place. He was in love. His actions were driven by his love for his sister. While he was evil and vengeful, his motivation was love.”

    This statement sparked immediate reactions, as Chhabra seemed to suggest that Ravana, despite his villainous actions, was justified from his own perspective. He added, “In a war, both sides believe they are right, but ultimately, Ravana’s actions were driven by love.”

    Comparing Past Controversies: Saif Ali Khan’s Similar Statement

    Mukesh Chhabra’s remarks aren’t the first to create a stir regarding the character of Ravana. Actor Saif Ali Khan found himself in hot water back in 2020 when he made a similar comment while promoting Adipurush. Saif, who played Ravana in the film, mentioned in an interview with Mid Day that he intended to portray Ravana as a more “human” character. He even suggested that the film would justify the kidnapping of Sita and the subsequent war with Lord Ram as an act of revenge for Laxman’s treatment of Surpanakha, Ravana’s sister.

    Saif’s comments led to a significant backlash, with many accusing him of distorting the epic’s narrative. The uproar was so intense that Saif eventually retracted his statement and issued a public apology. He clarified that he did not intend to hurt anyone’s sentiments and expressed regret over his choice of words.

    The Role of Ravana in Modern Retellings

    The character of Ravana has always been a point of fascination and controversy in modern retellings of the Ramayana. Directors and actors often attempt to explore the “human” side of Ravana, focusing on his motivations, particularly his love for his sister Surpanakha. However, these interpretations often walk a fine line, as they can easily offend those who view Ravana strictly as a villain without redeeming qualities.

    Mukesh Chhabra’s recent comments add another layer to this ongoing debate. While he may have intended to highlight the complexity of Ravana’s character, his remarks have nonetheless stirred controversy, particularly given the sensitive nature of Ramayana’s narrative and its importance to many.

    Moving Forward with ‘Ramayana’

    Despite the controversy, Ramayana remains one of the most anticipated films in recent times, with fans eagerly awaiting how Nitesh Tiwari and his team will bring this epic to life. The film’s casting decisions, especially with actors like Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and potentially Yash, have only added to the excitement.

    As the film progresses, it will be interesting to see how the creative team navigates the portrayal of characters like Ravana, who, while traditionally viewed as a villain, also has layers that modern filmmakers are keen to explore. Mukesh Chhabra’s statements, controversial as they may be, reflect this ongoing tension between traditional storytelling and modern interpretations.
