Arun Govil, the beloved Lord Ram from the iconic TV series 'Ramayan', has shared his thoughts on the casting choice. Govil, who will also play King Dashrath in the film, believes in Ranbir Kapoor's ability to embody the revered character.

Govil praised Kapoor's dedication and cultural understanding, stating, "He is a good actor… He has a moral culture… I am very sure he will try to do his level best." This endorsement carries significant weight, as Govil's portrayal of Lord Ram is deeply ingrained in the hearts of Indian viewers.
