While talking to Galatta India Mukesh Khanna stated, “If you provoke, you’ll get into trouble. You are showing Ram as a warrior, but he was the Maryada Purushottam, the ideal man. They’re showing Lord Rama climbing trees and shooting arrows. Krishna or Arjuna might do that, but Rama would not. If Rama declared himself a warrior, he would never have sought the help of monkeys. He was sufficient, one man against Ravana.”
