The Story in Brief
Gajendra Chauhan, best known for playing Yudhishthir in the television series Mahabharat, has warned against casting Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming Ramayana. According to NDTV, Chauhan said actors playing pious characters 'cannot be too exposed'. He also criticised the now-shelved plan for a star-studded Mahabharata film featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan. Chauhan argued that such casting could dilute the reverence required for mythological roles.
The Indian Opinion
Casting big stars in mythological roles always stirs debate, but the real test is whether the actor can embody piety without breaking the illusion. Gajendra Chauhan's point about 'too exposed' characters is valid, yet many forget that Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana is a big-budget adaptation, not a temple re-enactment. The sheved star-studded Mahabharata with Bachchan and Aamir Khan suggests even studios are cautious. Watch trailer buzz: if Kapoor's Ram looks wooden, critics will have their answer.
