Actor Satyen Chaturvedi says his scenes as Sumantra were edited out of the film Ramayana. He shared the update on Instagram after filming and casting for the role, describing it as a common part of an actor’s work, where not every shot appears in the final cut.
Chaturvedi frames his reaction as gratitude rather than complaint, thanking casting director Mukesh Chhabra for considering him and saying the memories and experience from the project will remain with him. NDTV and other outlets report similarly that he expresses appreciation for being part of the “magnificent journey,” despite his portions not reaching theatres.
The surrounding context across the coverage centres on the film’s high-profile cast and scale, with Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash in lead roles. Times of India additionally notes that the project is linked to a sequel anticipated in 2028 after the film’s success, while the other reports focus more directly on Chaturvedi’s edited-out scenes and his personal response.
