Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming film Ramayana has received a fresh update that is now creating mixed reactions online. Reports claim that Yash and Sai Pallavi have started shooting for an important sequence connected to the Swayamvar episode.
According to a report by Mid-Day, the sequence will reportedly show Ravana arriving at the Swayamvar ceremony. The scene is expected to continue with the iconic Shiv Dhanush moment, where the atmosphere inside King Janaka’s court changes after Ravana’s entry. Reports suggest that Yash’s screen presence in the sequence will be one of the major highlights.
However, the latest reports have also sparked debate among audiences on social media. Several users pointed out that the film is reportedly based on the Valmiki Ramayana, where Ravana is not described as being present during Sita’s Swayamvar ceremony.
Many viewers clarified online that Ravana was never invited to the occasion in the original text. Some users also highlighted that the Swayamvar was not a traditional competition involving multiple suitors. According to the epic, King Janaka had announced that only the person capable of lifting the Shiv Dhanush could marry Sita.
Another section of audiences expressed confusion regarding earlier reports about the film. Previous updates had claimed that Ram and Ravana would not share any scenes together in the first part. Because of this, viewers are now questioning how the Swayamvar sequence would unfold if both characters appear in the same setting.
So far, the makers have not officially responded to the ongoing discussions or speculation. Many people also believe that any clarification from the team should include proper references to avoid unnecessary controversy surrounding the adaptation.
The memories of Adipurush are still fresh among audiences, making viewers more cautious about mythological adaptations. In such a situation, even small fictional changes or cinematic liberties could lead to strong reactions from the public. For now, audiences are waiting for an official confirmation from the makers regarding the sequence.
