Arun Govil Says No Current Star Can Play Lord Ram: 'Find Someone Outside Bollywood'
Curated By : Yatamanyu Narain Last Updated: June 05, 2025, 19:43 IST Arun Govil questions modern Ramayan retellings and says no current Bollywood actor, including Ranbir Kapoor, is fit to portray Lord Ram. Suggests casting outsider. Arun Govil, the actor revered across generations for his iconic portrayal of Lord Ram in Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan, has shared candid thoughts on the many modern attempts to reimagine the epic. Speaking in an interview with NDTV, the actor — now a BJP Member of Parliament from Meerut — expressed deep skepticism about contemporary actors stepping into the sacred role that defined his career and became a cultural cornerstone in Indian television history. 'Three-four people have tried recreating it, but they weren't successful," Govil said. 'I don't think in our lifetime someone should attempt to remake Ramayan. When it comes to playing Ram, none of the stars we have today fit the part in my opinion. Maybe someone from outside the industry might be more suitable." His remarks come during the second phase of the Pran Pratishtha ceremony at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, a spiritual and political milestone that echoes the themes of devotion and righteousness long associated with the Ramayan narrative. Govil's portrayal of Lord Ram across 78 episodes from 1987 to 1988 was nothing short of legendary, turning Sunday mornings at 9:30 am on Doordarshan into a near-spiritual ritual for households across India. The show left such a cultural impact that even decades later, attempts to recreate its magic have struggled to find acceptance. His comments also appear to be a subtle critique of recent cinematic interpretations — most notably the 2023 film Adipurush, which cast Prabhas as Ram and faced widespread backlash for its creative liberties and underwhelming execution. The film was a critical and commercial disappointment. Interestingly, Govil's statement arrives just as Ranbir Kapoor gears up to don the role of Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari's much-anticipated film adaptation of Ramayan. Touted as a two-part cinematic saga, it is scheduled for release on Diwali in 2026 and 2027. While the anticipation around Tiwari's version builds, Arun Govil's words serve as a reminder that when it comes to mythological icons like Lord Ram, audiences expect more than just star power — they seek divinity in performance.

Abhishek Bachchan Pulls Off Nora Fatehi's Haye Garmi Hookstep; Amitabh Bachchan Reacts
Curated By : Last Updated: June 05, 2025, 17:35 IST Abhishek Bachchan's Housefull 5 releases on June 6. Abhishek Bachchan returns to comedy with Housefull 5, a film co-starring Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh as male leads. Ahead of the film's release tomorrow, June 6, the makers released a behind-the-scenes glimpse from Laal Pari shoot. Seconds into the video, and you'll see Abhishek pulling off Nora Fatehi's Garmi hookstep from Street Dancer 3D. His father, Amitabh Bachchan, took to X and reacted to the whole BTS clip. The shoot of Laal Pari song from Housefull 5 was a laughter riot. A video from the song's making is going viral on social media ahead of the film's release. However, the catch in the track has to be Abhishek lying on the ground and effortlessly pulling off Nora's tricky Garmi hookstep as the cast and crew cheered on. Akshay added his own flavour to the moment. Taking to X, Abhishek wrote, 'Chaotic? Yes. Glamorous? Definitely Fun? Always. Go behind the scenes of the track that's got everyone grooving! #LaalPari BTS Out Now! #Housefull5 releases in cinemas near you on 6th June 2025! Book your tickets Now!" Watch it here: The video invited a comment from Amitabh Bachchan. Numbering his X post, he wrote, 'T 5402 .. hahaha .. what a fun fun fun … !!!" Meanwhile, Housefull 5 will feature two entirely different climaxes in different theatres. Speaking about it, Sajid Nadiadwala shared, 'With Housefull 5, we wanted to take a bold creative swing that hasn't been done before internationally for any thriller film. The idea of having multiple endings, multiple experiences has been with me for 30 years. Since, i wanted to make Housefull 5 a thriller comedy, there couldn't have been a better way to execute my idea of having multiple endings than this." He added, 'It felt right to do something radical as we celebrate 75 years of Nadiadwala Grandson in the industry. Housefull is India's biggest comedy franchise and for the fifth instalment, we had to push the boundaries of what comedy can be. The idea of different endings came from a simple question: why should the audience always have just one version of the truth in a thriller? With Housefull 5, we've built a film that plays with form while staying completely rooted in entertainment. It's a killer comedy, literally, with twists that change depending on where you're watching it. and I'm proud we're doing it under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson as we mark 75 years in the business. Our legacy has always been about embracing scale, stars, and giving audiences newer experiences and Housefull 5 takes all it to another level." He further mentioned, 'It's a natural extension of the theatrical experience: creating intrigue, rewatch value, and a sense of discovery. In a world of spoilers and algorithms, we're bringing back that element of surprise. And that's where the fun begins." Housefull 5 stars an ensemble of 19 stars, comprising Akshay Kumar, joined by returning favourites and some new faces including Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Chitrangada Singh, Fardeen Khan, Chunky Pandey, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, Ranjeet, Soundarya Sharma, Nikitin Dheer, and Akashdeep Sabir. The film, directed by Tarun Mansukhani, releases on June 6, 2025. Anindita Mukherjee works as a Senior Sub-Editor in the Entertainment team at News18 Showsha.
