In a recent discussion surrounding the highly anticipated film adaptation of the Ramayana, Salman Khan has urged audiences to focus on the cultural and spiritual significance of the epic rather than its substantial budget, which is reported to be around Rs 4,000 crore. Khan emphasized the importance of the characters Ram and Sita, as well as the scriptures that underpin their story, suggesting that these elements should take precedence over technical aspects such as visual effects (VFX).
Khan further elaborated on his perspective by drawing a parallel between the virtues exemplified by Lord Ram and the protagonist of his own film, Maatrubhumi. This comparison highlights the enduring relevance of Ram's qualities in contemporary narratives, reinforcing the notion that the essence of the story should resonate more than its financial backing or production values.S2
As the film industry gears up for the release of the Ramayana, Khan's comments reflect a broader cultural sentiment that values the narrative and moral lessons of ancient texts. The film's massive budget has sparked considerable buzz, but Khan's call to prioritize the story's deeper meanings may influence how audiences engage with the project.S1S2
