Arun Govil is a much-loved actor thanks to him playing Lord Ram in Ramanand Sagar’s iconic Doordarshan serial Ramayan. The actor – who is still respected for his role, recently spoke about Ranbir Kapoor essaying the role of the Hindu God in Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming Ramayan trilogy.
From calling Ranbir a ‘good actor’ to admitting he’s a ‘very cultured’ human, here’s what Govil had to say.
While interacting with Bollywood Spy, Arun Govil revealed what he thinks of Ranbir playing Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayan. On being asked if Ranbir Kapoor will be able to level up to his portrayal of Lord Ram on the iconic Doordarshan show, Arun said, “Woh ho sakta hai ya nahi ho sakta hai woh toh samay batayega. Pehle se kuch nahi kaha ja sakta kisi ke baare main. (Only time can tell if that will happen or not, can’t say anything in advance about it).”
Govil continued, “But, as far as Ranbir is concerned, he is a good actor. He is an award-winning actor. Jitna jaanta hoon main unko, bahut mehnat se kaam karte hain wo, bahut sanskari bache hain woh. Unke andar morals, sanskar, sanskriti hai. Maine dekha hai kayi baar unko. (Whatever I know of him, Ranbir works very hard, and he is a very cultured kid. He has got good moral and cultural values. I’ve noticed it several times). I’m very sure that he will try to do his level best.”
