Actress Dipika Chikhalia, known for her role as Sita in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan, comments on the casting debate around a new Ramayana project. In remarks reported by NDTV, Chikhalia argues that an actor’s ability to take on demanding roles should translate across characters. She cites Ranbir Kapoor’s performances, saying that if he can do a film like Barfi! and another role such as Animal, he can also play Ram. Chikhalia’s comments are presented as a defence of casting choices and a response to questions about whether a particular actor is suited to portray Ram in a Ramayana adaptation. The statement links the actor’s range and previous work to the requirement of portraying Ram, suggesting that casting should consider demonstrated acting capabilities rather than initial concerns about fit or typecasting. NDTV reports the same quote in two entries, both attributing the remarks to Chikhalia.
