Mukesh Khanna Against Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana' Cast, Takes A Dig At Ranbir Kapoor's Image Saying, 'Kya Ram Lagega'? (Details Inside)
After all the talk about Om Raut's 'Adipurush,' all eyes are now on Nitesh Tiwari's next movie, 'Ramayana,' which will supposedly star Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in the main roles. Earlier, it was said that 'KGF' star Yash would play the bad guy, but source later said that wasn't true. Even though news about Ramayana keeps making the news, Mukesh Khanna, who is best known for playing Shaktimaan, recently criticised the choice of the movie.
The actor made fun of Ranbir Kapoor and his choice to play Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari's movie. After 'Adipurush' wasn't very well received, Mukesh Khanna talked about future mythological films and how important it is to have the right cast. In an interview he talked about his worries about acting choices and how they affect how the epic characters are shown as a whole.
Mukesh Khanna said that 'Mahabharat's' casting was great and that it should have won an award for choosing actors who were perfect for their parts. But he was not sure about the actors chosen for 'Ramayana,' especially Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram. Mukesh Khanna thought that actors with a certain image might not be the best choice for such iconic parts. He said that Ranbir Kapoor was like Arun Govil, who played Lord Ram in Ramanand Sagar's 'Ramayan.' This was meant to show that similarities were inevitable.
Mukesh Khanna said, when talking about Prabhas's role in 'Adipurush,' that just having a moustache wouldn't be enough to make him look like Lord Ram. He said that choices about who to cast should be made carefully so that the character's true personality comes through on screen.
Fans and movie lovers have talked about Mukesh Khanna's honest comments, which have brought up how important it is to cast well in mythological films. As the making of 'Ramayana' goes on, everyone keeps an eye on the project, eager to see how the casting goes and whether it lives up to the great story.
