Dream role for Actors
Playing mythological characters is considered to be a glamourous assignment in Indian cinema, and not many actors get to play such roles. In the highly-anticipated film Ramayan, Ranbir Kapoor will play Lord Ram, with Sai Pallavi starring as the female lead. No doubt, Lord Ram is a role that every actor would die for, considering his revered stature in Hindu mythology, its cultural and historical significance, and its impact on mass identity.
Mukesh Chhabra’s Bold Statement
In a recent interview, star casting director Mukesh Chhabra was asked to name an actor whom he feels would play Lord Ram to the T. And without beating about the bush, Chhabra said, “For the role of Lord Rama, one needs that charming and lovable smile; according to me, Tollywood star Mahesh Babu is apt for the role.”
