Many artists showed interest

Announcement of new artist soon
Goyal clarified that the committee is taking decisions respecting the sentiments of the society and the name of the new artist will be announced soon.
There was protest against Poonam Pandey
From the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) to Computer Baba, with the name of Poonam Pandey, had strongly protested. Computer Baba had said so much that Poonam Pandey should give the role of Surpanakha, not Mandodari. Computer Baba said that the president of Ramlila did not get enough intelligence to whom you should give the character? I would request that whatever is made, it should be made the same character.
At the same time, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) wrote a letter in protest against Poonam Pandey taking Poonam Pandey in Ramlila that he should be removed from this role. It was written in the letter that Ramlila is not just a theatrical presentation, but a vibrant part of Indian society and rites.
