The movie, however, has been receiving attention online for reasons beyond its story, with viewers raising questions about its casting, visual effects and overall production. A newly surfaced poster has now added another talking point, after social media users spotted a vanar wearing spectacles.

Several users questioned the presence of spectacles in the Treta Yuga, while others simply poked fun at the poster. One wrote, “Treta yug me bhi chashma lagate the (People wore spectacles even in the Treta Yuga?).” Another commented, “Saw glasses for the first time in the Treta Yuga.” One shared, “Am I hallucinating or do you all genuinely see #him? ” An X user wrote, “Time traveller hai woh.…Tretayug m gya thh (He is a time traveler... he went to the Treta Yuga).” One X user wrote, " Tretayug mai wanar sena ne chashma laga rakha hai 😸 Ye kaisi movie banayi hai bhai 😭. (The Vanar Sena is wearing glasses in the Treta Yuga? 😸 What kind of movie have they made, man?),"
Notably, Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha follows the story of Shri Ram through the eyes of a young boy named Shashwat. As per the movie’s official synopsis, Lord Hanuman takes the form of a sage and narrates the life and journey of Shri Ram to the boy. The movie aims to introduce the epic to a younger generation while retaining its spiritual and cultural significance.
As per the latest buzz, Dev Sharma also made headlines at the trailer launch while speaking about two other major Ramayan adaptations. The star opened up that he had been offered the role of Lakshman in Prabhas’ Adipurush and was also considered for Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana.
In further updates, Dev shared he was not cast in Ramayana because he was taller than Ranbir Kapoor . The star shared, “Before this, I was offered the role of Lakshman in both Adipurush as well as Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana. My look tests were also almost finalised, but things didn't work out.”
On top of that, He added, "Somewhere (hinting at Ramayana), I was two inches taller than the star playing Lord Rama, and in another (Adipurush), I was as huge as the star playing Lord Rama (Prabhas), so I wasn't finalised. So I was disheartened that maybe my connection with Ramayana is not that good; that is why I am being rejected again and again.”
Directed by Abhishek Singh, Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha has been produced by Prakash Mahobiya and Sanjay Bundela, with Honey Kuldeep Agarwal and Moni Sen as co-producers. The movie is now playing in theatres in Hindi and Chhattisgarhi.
