The Story in Brief
Debutant Nitish Sharma says he was replaced by a senior actor in a major film before being cast as Shatrughan in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana. In an Instagram video, Sharma described the casting as a “divine” turn, saying he received the replacement message after hundreds of auditions and days before filming was due to begin. He said he later read the Sundarkand at his family’s Hanuman shrine and received a call from casting director Mukesh Chhabra while reading the Bharat milaap passage.
Sharma has more than seven years of theatre experience and has appeared in Pyaar Paisa Profit and brand campaigns. Ramayana marks his first feature film. Part One, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Rama and Yash as Ravana, is scheduled for release on November 6.
The Indian Opinion
The familiar story that every setback is divine guidance can comfort an actor, but it should not replace facts about casting or opportunity. Sharma’s account explains his personal journey, not why the earlier production dropped him, and the film’s scale does not guarantee a breakout. The useful test is on screen: whether his performance gives Shatrughan a clear presence when Part One releases on November 6.
