During one of the promotional interviews of ‘Bawaal’, Nitesh Tiwari was asked if they are being extra cautious about the film after the backlash that Om Raut’s ‘Adipurush’ received. Nitesh had said that they don’t feel the need to be extra cautious as he is confident that he won’t make content that would hurt the sentiments of the audience. ‘Adipurush’ starred Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan in lead roles.
To be directed by Nitesh Tiwari and Ravi Udhyawar, ‘Ramayan’ is expected to go on floors in mid-2024.
