Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha Shri Ram Ki Teaser Out
The creators behind Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha Shri Ram Ki have unveiled the official teaser and first-look poster, setting up a nationwide theatrical release for September 25, 2026. Directed by Abhishek Singh and backed by Mahobiya Films Production Pvt. Ltd. alongside A J Films' Entertainment World, this upcoming mythological project is releasing in both Hindi and Chhattisgarhi.
The 90-second video focuses on core themes like prem (love), aastha (faith), tyaag (sacrifice), maryada (dignity), and dharma, setting up key chapters of the epic:
Key Highlights: The teaser opens with the royal wedding of Lord Ram and Mata Sita before shifting focus to their emotional departure for a 14-year vanvaas (exile).
Major Plot Points: It shows classic scenes like Ravan begging for alms in disguise, Sita's subsequent abduction, and Lord Ram preparing his bow as the construction of the Ram Setu begins.
Cast Of Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha
The film brings together a mix of social media influencers, Hindi film actors, and seasoned TV stars:
Anjali Arora as Mata Sita: Known widely for her viral "Kacha Badam" dance video and her stint on Lock Upp Season 1, Anjali makes her feature film debut as Mata Sita. Her casting generated immediate friction online, though she previously mentioned in interviews that she felt honored by the role and wasn't worried about eventual comparisons to other actresses portraying Sita, such as Sai Pallavi in Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming Ramayana.
Dev Sharma as Shri Ram: Best known for his appearances in films like Heropanti and Yaariyan, Dev Sharma takes on the lead role of Lord Ram.
Rajniesh Duggal as Ravan: The veteran actor plays the antagonist, bringing gravity to the King of Lanka.
Nirbhay Wadhwa as Lord Hanuman: A familiar face in television mythological dramas, Nirbhay steps into the role of the devoted Hanuman.
Sheel Verma as Lakshman: Playing the loyal younger brother who accompanies Shri Ram and Sita into the forest.

Online Controversy & Backlash
Almost immediately after dropping, the clip triggered heavy debate across social media platforms like Reddit and X. Many viewers criticized the overall visual effects, while others pointed out a musical slip-up where a Lord Krishna chant (Krishnaya Vasudevaya Haraye) was played over a scene from the Ramayana.
Not only this, many users criticize the casting of Anjali Arora as Maa Sita. A user wrote, “An instagram reel creator who just did some twerks on a famous Kacha Badam song now plays the role of Maa Sita in a new Ramayana film Mahakavya! What new standards is this film industry setting?”
