The veteran actor stated that Ranbir Kapoor might be "unacceptable to the audience." He added, "From the poster, I liked his look. It's very nice and since he's so smart, he will look perfect in that role. But, I don't know how much people will accept him as Ram."
Lahri elaborated on his concerns about Kapoor's existing image, saying, "I feel that you should take someone that has no image or baggage. It works better. No doubt Ranbir is a great actor with a big legacy of his family and work he has done. I'm sure he will do justice, but again, it is the perception of people that you can't change. He has to crush his earlier performances and come out with this. And especially, after doing something like Animal recently, it will be very difficult for people to see him in such an opposite role as Lord Ram."
Lahri also commented on Sai Pallavi, who is set to play Sita alongside Ranbir Kapoor. He said, "I don't know how she is as an actress, I have never seen any of her work. But, looks wise, I am honestly not very convinced. In my mind, Sita has a very beautiful and perfect looking face, and I don't think Sai's face has that perfection," adding, "In Indian mindsets, all the Devis are out of this world, it should be extraordinary. I don't know how they are going to make this actress look that attractive that Raavan would fall for her."
