Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana is one of the most-anticipated films of the year. The trailer released so far has garnered mixed reviews, with some users slamming Ranbir Kapoor's casting as Lord Rama. Now, veteran actor Mukesh Khanna has also questioned the way Lord Rama has been portrayed in the upcoming mythological epic. He particularly called out the action scenes and heavy use of VFX, saying that the character should respect the reverence associated with 'Maryada Purushottam.'

While speaking to Bollywood Now on its YouTube channel, Mukesh Khanna said he felt the makers had showcased Lord Rama in a more conventional hero style rather than emphasising his dignified image.
