Filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari’s ‘Ramayana’, starring Ranbir Kapoor, is among the most anticipated films of the year and is scheduled to arrive in theatres this Diwali. Ahead of its release, the team hosted a grand event in Hyderabad, where it was announced that distributor Dil Raju would handle the film’s release in the Telugu-speaking states. However, while praising the cast and crew during his speech, Dil Raju accidentally referred to Ranbir Kapoor as Ranveer Singh, leaving the audience amused and sparking laughter on social media.During the event, Dil Raju outlined the film’s distribution plans, revealing that Karan Johar would handle its release in North India, Sony Pictures would take care of the Hollywood market, while his company would distribute it across the Telugu-speaking states. He also pointed out that ‘Ramayana’ would be the third Ranbir Kapoor film he would distribute in the region, after ‘Brahmastra’ and ‘Animal’. While praising the actor, he said, “We seen all his films, one of the best actors, the best hero is Ranveer Singh garu, sorry, Ranbir Kapoor Garu.“The camera immediately cut to Ranbir Kapoor following the name mix-up. The actor kept a straight face and appeared to offer little reaction to the slip-up. A clip of the moment soon made its way onto social media, with users sharing their reactions and poking fun at the confusion between the two actors.One user commented, “Dil Raju Garu you are right, Ranveer Singh is the best actor.” Another wrote, “This is embarassing.” Reacting to the moment, a third user said, “It’s an honest mistake but I can’t stop laughing.” Another comment read, “He didn’t have to say so much truth.” One more user remarked, “What an awkward moment.” While many found the incident funny, some Ranbir Kapoor fans were unhappy with the mix-up. One user criticised the organisers, writing, “A little advice to the makers: Never hand over the mic to someone who isn’t well-rehearsed, especially when there’s no teleprompter in place.“The Hyderabad event was attended by several members of the film’s team, including producer Namit Malhotra, director Nitesh Tiwari, Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sai Pallavi and Ravi Dubey.Produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash and directed by Nitesh Tiwari, ‘Ramayana’ is a two-part cinematic adaptation of the Hindu epic.
