Ramayan film makers reject viral glasses poster claim
Hindustan Times··28 Sept
Makers of Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha said a viral poster showing a vanar soldier in eyeglasses is promotional art, not a film frame. Director Abhishek Singh asked critics to share a theatre screenshot or timestamp if the image appears on screen. The team said it will release footage to show the difference. The film recently opened in Indian theatres.
