‘Ramayana’ directed by Nitesh Tiwari has been in the news for the past few days. Ranbir Kapoor is playing the role of Lord Ram in the film. Recently, veteran actor Mukesh Khanna, who is famous for his outspoken statements, has expressed his opinion on this. He said that the image of Ranbir’s recent film ‘Animal’ should not affect his ‘Ramayana’.
Mukesh Khanna speaks on comparison between Ranbir and Arun Govil
Mukesh Khanna said in an interview:
“It is not right to compare Ranbir Kapoor and Arun Govil. The character of Lord Ram played by Arun Govil in ‘Ramayana’ is a ‘gold standard’.”
He clarified that the actor should portray the character of Lord Ram with the same purity and dignity as presented by Arun Govil.
“It is important to look like Ram, not Chichhora”
Mukesh Khanna said that whoever plays the role of Lord Ram will have to show ideals like Ram in both his personal life and acting.
“If you are playing the character of Ram, you should not party, drink or behave like a loose person. Your real life personality reflects on the screen. It is important to look and be like Ram.”
He also said that it is not his job to decide who plays the role of Ram, but the director should take care of this.
Warning giving example of Prabhas
Mukesh Khanna cautioned the filmmakers saying that Prabhas, who was seen in the role of Ram in ‘Adipurush’, was not accepted that way by the audience.
“Prabhas is a big star, but the audience did not accept him as Lord Ram. This was not because of his acting, but because of his image. It is very important to look and feel like Ram.”
The image of ‘Animal’ should not be affected
Mukesh Khanna said for Ranbir Kapoor:
“Ranbir is a good actor, but his negative personality was visible in films like ‘Animal’. The actor playing the character of Ram should look like Ram. It is important that his past image does not dominate this character.”
