Actress Anjali Arora, who became an overnight sensation with her song Kacha Badam, has become the talk of the town today, August 19, 2026, following the teaser release of her upcoming film, Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha. As the actress is seen portraying the role of Goddess Sita in the film, it has sparked online conversations, with users questioning her casting, and some even drawing comparisons to Sai Pallavi, calling her better.
On Tuesday, August 18, 2026, Anjali shared the teaser of her upcoming film on her social media, sparking online buzz, particularly over the casting of the actress as Sita.
Criticizing the cast, a Reddit user said, “Anjali Arora as Maa Sita? Seriously? Maa Sita is a deeply revered figure for millions. Casting choices for such roles should reflect dignity and sensitivity, not feel like publicity bait. This casting feels like a cruel joke on people’s beliefs.”

The third said, “Advance mein flop likh deta hu.”
