Muzaffarnagar: A 'Ramlila' programme featuring actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has been cancelled following opposition by a religious group in Muzaffarnagar, police said on Thursday.
The actor had yesterday said that he would play the character of 'Maricha' in the programme.
Maricha is a rakshasa (demon), who is killed by Rama.
His most notable exploit is his role in the kidnapping of Sita, Rama's wife.
