Actor Gajendra Chauhan comments on the casting of Ranbir Kapoor for a film adaptation of the Ramayana. Chauhan says an actor playing a “pious” or devotional character should not be overexposed, suggesting that maintaining a certain level of privacy or discretion is important when portraying such a role.
In the same remarks, Chauhan also refers to an earlier, shelved project idea involving a star-studded Mahabharata featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan. He frames his comments as part of a broader view on how mythological characters and high-profile casting should be handled, while noting that the Mahabharata concept did not move forward.
Across outlets providing the same coverage, the core focus is Chauhan’s view that playing reverent characters requires restraint, alongside his mention of the cancelled star-heavy Mahabharata proposal.
