Actor Ranbir Kapoor has addressed the online trolling surrounding his upcoming film Ramayana, saying he chooses not to be bothered by social media comments. Quoting the popular Kishore Kumar song Kuch Toh Log Kahenge, the actor said that what matters more is the support of people who understand his work, intentions and kindness.Recently, composer AR Rahman faced questions over the sound and treatment of Mangal Rang, a song from Ramayana that sparked debate online.
Against this backdrop, Ranbir Kapoor shared his take on online trolling, saying one should not let public criticism distract them.In a recent conversation with over 18,000 students from across India, the 44-year-old actor said, “I think what is relevant today is also the beauty of trolling online. It goes back to the old song, ‘Kuch toh log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna.’ I think that’s the great philosophy to actually follow.
You don’t get bothered by what people are saying.”Talking About Online Trolling, Ranbir Said:- “I believe in the philosophy of ‘Kuch Toh Log Kahenge, Logon Ka Kaam Hai Kehna!’ Don’t let the noise bother you. If your intentions are right and your hard work and dedication are honest, let your work do the talking.” https://t.co/ucNtb2j3bx— (@behind_you_rk) November 1, 2026Ranbir added that he values the opinions of people who genuinely care about him and his work. “What matters is the people.
People who care for you, your work, intention, kindness, and I guess that’s what matters the most,” he added. Previously, the actor was also subjected to scrutiny after a slip of the tongue at a Ramayana event in Kolkata, where he mistakenly said ‘achchai ka ant’ instead of ‘achchai ki jeet’.
He later apologised for the gaffe.Ranbir’s comments also came amid online discussions and criticism surrounding Ramayana’s recent track Mangal Rang. Sung by Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal, with lyrics by Kumar Vishwas, the track sparked a debate over its musical treatment.
The song depicts the wedding of Lord Rama and Goddess Sita, but some listeners questioned its perceived qawwali influences and whether the arrangement suited the setting of the epic. While some listeners wanted the music to have stronger roots in Sanatan Dharma, others felt the electronic treatment of the Ravana Tandava lacked the energy they had expected.
The lyrics also drew criticism, with some questioning whether they matched the emotional depth and fluidity often associated with Rahman’s compositions.Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the ambitious two-part adaptation also stars Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman and Yash as Ravana. The film’s first instalment is scheduled to release in theatres on November 5, with the second part reportedly scheduled for 2027.- Ends
