Aaj Ki Ayodhya the film’s title suggests, the film is about Ram’s Ayodhya and has a Mythological backdrop, when asked about the same he said, “people have been using the city’s name in every way possible, positive, negative, in relation to Ram, building temples and mosques. But they don’t understand that the city and devotion are beyond any religion or cast. I won’t say that the film talks about that but yes you might find some similarities. The Mythological base is used in such a way that you will be able to relate and understand the message we are trying to give.”
