Ahead of the film’s release, Ranbir had addressed the criticism and online trolling surrounding Ramayana at an event organised by IIMUN (India International Movement to Unite Nations).

Speaking about the subject, Ranbir said, “What’s relevant today is this beauty of trolling online. It goes back to the good old song ‘Kuchh to log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna (People will say something, it’s their job to say something or the other)’. I think that’s a great philosophy to actually follow in life. Don’t be bothered by what people are saying. What matters is the people who matter, the people who care for your work, your intention, and your kindness. That’s what matters the most,” said the actor.
