Arun Govil, known for playing Lord Ram in the 1987 TV series “Ramayan,” is set to return to the “Ramayana” universe as King Dashrath. The film’s makers unveil a new character poster showing Govil in the role, drawing mixed reactions online.
Multiple outlets report that the movie is Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious adaptation, with Ranbir Kapoor cast as Lord Rama and Sai Pallavi as Sita. Times of India adds that the soundtrack includes a collaboration between Hans Zimmer and A. R. Rahman. While some fans express nostalgia and emotional connection, describing Govil as moving from playing Ram to portraying Dashrath, other social media users critique the poster’s look, with comments targeting the beard and overall presentation.
Outlets also note that “Ramayana” is planned as a two-part release, with Part 1 expected during Diwali this year. While one report mentioned a possible November 5 release date and November 4 paid previews, the makers have not provided a confirmed exact date for Part 1.
