The Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan starrer – which is the retelling of the mythological epic Ramayana – has stirred controversy over dialogues. It faced the wrath of angered audiences for the ‘pedestrian’ language used in the film.

The writer of the film Manoj Muntashir got a security cover from Mumbai police after citing a threat to his life amid the rows. The lines in which Janaki/Sita was called India’s daughter led to the movie’s ban in Nepal.
