What did Dipika Chikhlia say about Sai Pallavi's action scenes?

Reacting to the sequence, Dipika said she had seen it on Instagram but was unsure about its source. "The memory that I have of Valmiki's Ramayana and Tulsidas' Ramayana, which was majorly a part of our Ramayan, I don't remember that anywhere we had those kinds of scenes," she said. She added that there are more than 300 versions of the Ramayana in India, with each telling having some differences. "So they (makers) may have picked up something from some Ramayana, which I'm not aware of," she said. Dipika also clarified that she had not watched the film yet and planned to see it after Diwali.
