In an interview with Great Andhra, Sai Pallavi expressed her views, stating, "I grew up in a neutral environment. I have heard about the left-wing and right-wing. But, I cannot say who is right and who is wrong. The film, The Kashmir Files, shows how Kashmiri Pandits were killed. Recently, there was an incident of a person being killed for carrying a cow because he was suspected to be a Muslim. After killing the person, the attackers raised 'Jai Shri Ram' slogans. Where is the difference between what happened in Kashmir and what happened recently?" ALSO READ: WHAT! Ranbir Kapoor Charges A Whopping Fee Of Rs 225 Crore For Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayan?

Another echoed similar sentiments, stating, "Na shakal na akal." A third user wrote, "Such a woman is playing a larger-than-life role of Maa Sita? who's gonna watch this film?"
