Ramayana cast and PR controversy

The upcoming film Ramayana is now facing a fresh PR controversy. Social media users have noticed a sudden wave of positive videos from Indian YouTubers. This has raised questions about whether these posts are organic or planned.

Viewers were quick to react to this shift in tone. Some questioned if Namit Malhotra’s team had approached influencers for damage control. The sudden positivity led to doubts about paid promotions.

The two-part epic stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash. It has faced backlash over claims of AI-generated visuals. Critics also pointed out poor VFX despite support from an Oscar-winning production house.

A viral post added fuel to the debate. It claimed that many YouTubers used identical talking points. This led to speculation that the film’s team may have shared a prepared narrative.

These alleged instructions asked influencers to compare Ramayana with Prabhas’ Adipurush. They were also told to dismiss VFX criticism and defend the film strongly. This triggered further online discussion.

Some influencers reportedly highlighted that the film is still months away from release. They said the visuals are incomplete and will improve. This argument was repeated across several videos.

The timing of these uploads raised more doubts. Within hours of the teaser release, multiple YouTubers shared similar opinions. This pattern made the situation more suspicious for viewers.

Amid this PR wave, many felt that genuine audience reactions were overshadowed. The focus shifted towards controlling the narrative. This has affected the overall perception of the film.

As Ramayana gears up for its global release, this controversy reflects a larger trend. Bollywood is increasingly relying on influencers. They play a key role in shaping public opinion and online buzz.
