Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi will be seen in the roles of Lord Ram and Goddess Sita in Nitesh Tiwari's directorial, Ramayana. Dipika Chikhlia shared her thoughts on the adaptation of the epic.

Dipika Chikhlia on what went wrong in Adipurush
She further added that every time a new director tries to make it, he/she wants to add a new angle, a new look, or something different from what's already done, and in the process, they mess it up.
The actress cited the example of Adipurush, saying, “Like for Kriti Sanon, they gave her a pink colored satin. They gave Saif a different look because they wanted to do something different, creatively. But then what you are doing is you're spoiling that whole impact of what Ramayan is all about.”
In the same conversation, the Ramayan actress also added that one should not tamper around with religious texts. "I don't think one should be doing it and just leave it aside. Just don't do this," added Chikhlia.
She believes, that instead of religious texts, one can take stories of freedom fighters as there are many unsung heroes in the pages of history who fought for freedom.
