Sometimes, speculative rumour-driven entertainment stories can be anything but entertaining for the party concerned. Producer Namit Malhotra and director Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious take on the Ramayana has been stalled by a legal copyright-infringement issue, according to reports circulating.
But there is no halt in rampantly spreading misinformation about Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: “Who are these some people that spread such negative things?”
However, one of the actors from the movie on condition of anonymity told us the truth. “Who says the shooting was halted? The shooting was not stopped even for a day. In fact, we are shooting as I speak to you. The current moment sees Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi participating in this film shoot with us. Who are those who spread these negative rumours? What do they get out of it? Here we are trying to make something that would bring us global glory. Instead of encouraging us there are negative stories about the Ramayan every day,” said the actor.
The situation is made worse by the silence of the producers (Yash, Namit Malhotra) who have not released any official statements concerning it.
“I don’t know why they want to keep quiet about that project; they should come up with certain details on what it is about by now. Their silence only makes rumors fly higher,” said an actor from Ramayana.
