Ranbir, Sai and Sunny’s interaction with the media
Speaking about taking on the role of Lord Rama, he said it felt like the part had chosen him rather than the other way around. Turning to Arun Govil, who was present in the audience, he acknowledged how the veteran actor has remained the face of the deity for generations, saying, “You have fulfilled this responsibility with such beauty, sincerity and dignity for so many years. Anyone who has watched Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan has been deeply inspired by you. If I can portray Shri Ram even a little as you did, I would feel that my hard work has paid off. Bachpan se sir Bhagwan Shri Ram ka aashirwad, unki seekh aur aapka chehra apne dil mein rakh kar bada hua hoon (Since childhood, we have asked for Lord Rama’s blessings, his learnings and kept your face in our heart). We love you like you are our own, and thank you for everything!”Sai Pallavi expressed her gratitude to the team for giving her the chance to play such a significant character. “I’ll speak in Hindi, but in case I make a mistake, please forgive me (smiles). It’s not easy for actors to get roles like this because it’s a challenge to essay a goddess on screen. There should be a team that can put their heart and soul into presenting their best version to the world. Only then does it become itihaas for everyone. Hence, thank you for selecting me for such a prestigious project.”
