Mukesh Khanna opens up on Ranbir Kapoor playing Ram in Ramayana, saying, 'Portraying Ram won't...'
Mukesh Khanna, famous for his iconic role as Bhishma Pitamah in the TV epic Mahabharat, is known for speaking his mind. Recently, he shared his thoughts on the upcoming film Ramayan, starring Ranbir Kapoor and directed by Nitesh Tiwari. What does Mukesh Khanna say about Ranbir Kapoor playing Ram? In an interview with Galatta India, Khanna expressed doubts if Ranbir Kapoor can truly embody the 'Maryada Purushottam'—the epitome of virtue and restraint that Ram is. He said, 'You are showing Ram climbing trees and shooting arrows. Krishna or Arjun can do that, but Ram would not. If Ram called himself a warrior, he would never ask for help from monkeys. He alone was enough to fight Ravan.' Khanna also mentioned the challenge Ranbir faces because of his recent controversial film Animal, stating, 'He is a good actor, but he has an image from Animal. If you portray Ram as a fighter, people won't accept it. Ram accepted 14 years of exile with folded hands, endured Shabari's false hatred; he never used bows and arrows for show.' Did Mukesh Khanna try to speak up before? Khanna revealed he had made a short video expressing his concerns about the portrayal of Ram in the Ramayan: The Introduction teaser. However, his team informed him the clips he saw were AI-generated fake videos by YouTubers, so he decided not to upload it on social media. What was Khanna's reaction to Ranbir's personal choices? When a publication asked about Ranbir's casting given that he admitted to eating beef, Khanna replied, 'I said I won't comment. Maybe he ate it, maybe he stopped. Let it be.' How does Khanna view the scale and content of Ramayan? 'Ramayan is the greatest story ever,' Khanna said. But he warned that making it with a 1000-crore budget won't guarantee success. 'Ramayan doesn't succeed because of money; it's content that matters. Just like Shaktimaan didn't become popular because of stars but because of its story.' Is star power necessary for Ramayan? Khanna was clear: 'If you put a star in Shaktimaan hoping the film will work, that means you don't trust the story itself. So why do you need big stars in Ramayan?' He pointed out that the movie already includes strong actors like Sunny Deol, Sai Pallavi, and Yash.

Ranbir Kapoor's Animal co-star confesses he ‘didn't understand' the film until the end; said he rejected it after first meeting with Sandeep Reddy Vanga
Ranbir Kapoor is regarded as one of the finest actors of his generation, and with his last release, Animal, he delivered both the biggest hit and the most polarising film of his career. His co-star Saurabh Sachdeva, last seen in Dhadak 2, recently spoke about Ranbir's attitude on set. When asked if the star ever threw 'tantrums,' Saurabh said that if Ranbir had been throwing tantrums, he wouldn't have been able to deliver his craft on screen. For Saurabh, Animal was also a massive project, but he candidly admitted that he didn't fully understand what director Sandeep Reddy Vanga was trying to achieve, or the world he was trying to create, until the very end. In a chat with the YouTube channel Filmygyan, Saurabh was asked if star kid Ranbir 'threw any tantrums' on set and the actor was quick to answer that no one actually does that. 'Nobody does that. This is all nonsense. Everyone is human and if they are a good actor, professional, and know how to connect with a co-actor… they know that is how a scene comes alive. If they start throwing tantrums, then how will the scene come to life? How can he be such a beautiful, powerful, versatile actor, if he does not connect with me or with any other co-actor? It's not possible,' he shared. Talking more about Ranbir, Saurabh shared that he was 'always connected, very humble and respectful with his co-actors.' Saurabh Sachdeva had a brief but impactful appearance in Animal and he said that when he was first offered the part, he was very skeptical about taking it up. 'I was initially very skeptical about doing the film. When I met Sandeep for the first time, I didn't understand what was happening in the film and I was wondering that since it's such a huge cast, I might get lost in it,' he said. ALSO READ | Abused by mother, Bollywood's biggest child star would be denied food after slaving all day, danced for money on stage; no one from Bollywood attended her funeral Saurabh shared that after the first meeting with Sandeep, he called his manager to speak about his doubts but was told that this would be 'the biggest film of the year.' 'But I was thinking that I still don't understand the story of the film,' he shared. He met Sandeep thrice and still didn't have a clue about the world that the director was trying to create here. 'I told him that I do not understand the world of this film. He then showed me the scene of the masked men and I got even more confused. Then he showed me that scene between Triptii Dimri and Ranbir in the lawn. Then the writer of the film, he started narrating a few more scenes and I said, 'Okay, I will do it',' he said. But, for all of his shooting schedule, Saurabh felt 'confused.' 'Honestly, throughout the film, I was really confused, till the end. And I wasn't sure if what I was doing was right or not,' he said. Saurabh Sachdeva was also asked about an update on Animal Park and he said, 'I have no clue. I also want to know when it's coming out. The shoot hasn't even started. Sandeep is making Spirit, and then he will start this.' He added, 'They are still writing the story. It's a work in progress.'
