Actress Sai Pallavi, who is slated to portray the character of Sita in Nitesh Tiwari’s ‘Ramayana’, has faced backlash after an old video of hers resurfaced online. In the video, she comments that the Indian army is perceived as a “terrorist group” in Pakistan, highlighting a contentious viewpoint between the two countries. The viral clip shows Pallavi stating, “People in Pakistan think our army is a terrorist group. But for us, it is them. So, the perspective changes. I don’t understand violence.” This interview was conducted in January 2022, and the resurfaced video has triggered anger among netizens, who have condemned the actress for her remarks. Some have criticized her for drawing comparisons and expressed concerns about her portrayal of the role of Sita in the upcoming ‘Ramayana’ film.
The film “Ramayana” features a notable collaboration between actors. Ranbir Kapoor will be seen as Lord Rama. Yash, known for his role in “KGF,” will portray the character of Ravana, and Sunny Deol is set to play the part of Lord Hanuman. This cinematic adaptation is anticipated to be one of the biggest productions. Additionally, the movie marks the highly anticipated Bollywood debut of actress Sai Pallavi.
Sai Pallavi is also preparing for the release of her Tamil film “Amaran,” directed by Rajkumar Periasamy. This movie is an adaptation of the book “India’s Most Fearless: True Stories of Modern Military” by Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh, and it is produced by Kamal Haasan. The film stars Sivakarthikeyan and is scheduled to be released in theaters on October 31.
