Recently, the first glimpse of Nitesh Tiwari’s film ‘Ramayana: Part 1’ was shared on the internet, which excited everyone. Considered to be one of the most important films in the history of Indian cinema, the film stars actors like Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash, who have played the roles of Ram, Sita, and Ravana, respectively. The film is based on the mythological epic ‘Ramayana’, written by Maharishi Valmiki.

But after the release of the teaser of ‘Ramayana’, something happened that its writer, Sridhar Raghavan, came under the target of trolls on social media. Shridhar Raghavan, who has written the screenplay of films like ‘Khakee’, ‘War’, ‘Pathan’, and ‘Tiger 3’, has been given credit for the story in the film ‘Ramayana: Part 1’. That is, he has written the story of this film.

But the users did not like the fact that the makers and Sridhar took the credit for Maharishi Valmiki, the real creator of ‘Ramayana’. For this, they scolded Sridhar and also shared a lot of memes on social media. In a tweet, a user wrote, ‘Sridhar Raghavan calling himself the writer of ‘Ramayana’ is not very different from an Indian calling himself a Caucasian or a homeopath calling himself a doctor.’
