Social media personality Anjali Arora, known from the 'Kacha Badam' video, has been announced as Sita in an upcoming Ramayan movie, with viewers questioning the film’s visual effects.
Anjali Arora, who rose to fame after the viral "Kacha Badam" clip, has been confirmed to portray the mythological heroine Sita in a new cinematic retelling of the Ramayana. The casting announcement was made by the film’s producers and has generated considerable buzz across social platforms.
The project, which aims to present a contemporary visual interpretation of the ancient epic, has attracted attention not only for its star cast but also for its technical ambitions. Early promotional material released online shows Arora in traditional attire, interacting with other principal characters.
However, netizens have expressed disappointment with the visual effects showcased in the teaser, describing them as sub‑par and not meeting the expectations for a high‑budget mythological film. Critics on Twitter and Instagram have called for improvements before the film’s release, urging the makers to enhance the CGI quality to match the grandeur of the story.
The production team has not yet responded to the criticism, but the controversy underscores the heightened scrutiny Indian audiences apply to big‑scale mythological adaptations.
