Ranbir Kapoor has begun filming for his role as Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari’s film “Ramayan.” The film will star Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash, and Sunny Deol in the roles of Sita, Ravan, and Hanuman, respectively. Arun Govil described Ranbir as a ‘good actor’ and expressed confidence in his ability to portray the role effectively, noting his cultured nature.

Actor Arun Govil became popular after portraying the role of Lord Ram in Ramanand Sagar’s TV serial “Ramayan.” In a recent interview with Bollywood Spy, Arun Govil talked about Ranbir Kapoor and his role in “Ramayan.” When asked if Ranbir and the upcoming Ramayan trilogy would be able to match up to his iconic show on Doordarshan, 

Woh ho sakta hai ya nahi ho sakta hai woh toh samay batayega. Pehle se kuch nahi kaha ja sakta kisi ke baare main (only time can tell if that will happen or not; I can’t say anything in advance about it). But, as far as Ranbir is concerned, he is a good actor. He is an award-winning actor.

The actor further stated that, as far as he knows, Ranbir is very hardworking and cultured. He has good moral and cultural values, and he is confident that Ranbir will give his best to the role.

The makers will reportedly release Ramayan as a trilogy, with the first part expected to hit theaters in 2025. Ranbir will undergo extensive vocational training to portray Lord Ram in the film. The director, Nitesh, wanted Ranbir to sound ‘different.’ India Today, quoting a source, stated, 

Ranbir has a certain baritone and a way of speaking his lines. It is symbolic, and if you have even closed your eyes, you can recognise a dialogue purely based on Ranbir’s voice. In Ramayan, Nitesh wants to make sure he sounds different from the characters he’s played in the past. Being a versatile actor, he is enjoying this process of trying something new.
