When asked if Ranbir and the upcoming Ramayan trilogy will be able to match up to his iconic Doordarshan show, Arun Govil said, “Woh ho sakta hai ya nahi ho sakta hai woh toh samay batayega. Pehle se kuch nahi kaha ja sakta kisi ke baare main (Only time can tell if that will happen or not, can’t say anything in advance about it). But, as far as Ranbir is concerned, he is a good actor. He is an award-winning actor.”
“Jitna jaanta hoon main unko, bahut mehnat se kaam karte hain wo, bahut sanskari bache hain woh. Unke andar morals, sanskar, sanskriti hai. Maine dekha hai kayi baar unko (Whatever I know of him, Ranbir works very hard, and he is a very cultured kid. He has got good moral and cultural values. I’ve noticed it several times). I’m very sure that he will try to do his level best.”

Ramayan: the trilogy
There are rumours that Ramayan will be released as a trilogy. The first installment of the movie is scheduled for release in 2025. In addition to Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash, and Sunny Deol are rumored to be playing the parts of Sita, Ravan, and Hanuman, respectively.
As per a recent India Today report, Ranbir will undergo extensive vocal training to play the part of Lord Ram in the film as Nitesh wants Ranbir to sound ‘different’. Media source stated, “Ranbir has a certain baritone and a way of speaking his lines. It is symbolic and if you have even closed your eyes, you can recognise a dialogue purely based on Ranbir’s voice. In Ramayan, Nitesh wants to make sure he sounds different from the characters he’s played in the past. Being a versatile actor, he is enjoying this process of trying something new.”
