NewDelhi: Ahead of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana Part 1 hitting the screens this year in Diwali, yet another period drama Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha is slated to release on theatrically on September 25, 2026. What has caught netizens’ attention is the movie’s casting. Since the teaser dropped, the casting has become the real story. Anjali Arora will be seen as Goddess Sita in the movie.
About ‘Kacha Badam’ girl Anjali Arora
Before she was cast as Goddess Sita, actress Anjali Arora was best known for fifteen seconds of dance — the ‘Kacha Badam’ reel that turned her into an overnight internet sensation, followed by a stint on Lock Upp that cemented her reality-TV fame. That journey has now taken an unexpected turn: Arora is making her big-screen debut as Goddess Sita in the mythological film Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha, opposite Dev Sharma as Lord Ram, releasing in theatres on September 25, 2026.
Though timelines have split between fans excited to see her take on the role and critics who feel a social-media star shouldn’t be playing one of Hindu mythology’s most revered figures, with several comparing her unfavourably to Sai Pallavi’s upcoming portrayal in a rival Ramayana film. Anjali Arora, for her part, says she sees Sita as a symbol of strength and quiet resilience, and calls the role the most meaningful one of her career so far.

Who is Anjali Arora?
