Gajendra Chauhan Critiques Ranbir Kapoors Dialogue Delivery in Ramayana Film

Mumbai, November 14 (Daily Kiran) : Actor Gajendra Chauhan, a former chairman of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), recently shared his thoughts on the film ‘Ramayana.’ He drew a comparison between Ranbir Kapoor’s dialogue delivery and the renowned performance of Arun Govil as Lord Ram.

In an interview, Chauhan praised Govil’s work, stating that his delivery was so compelling it felt as if the words were coming directly from the divine. He remarked that Kapoor, on the other hand, approaches the role as an actor rather than embodying the character of Lord Ram.

Chauhan explained, “Characters of God speak profound truths. When an actor delivers these lines, it should resonate as if the words are coming from God himself. In ‘Ramayana,’ Ranbir Kapoor speaks as an actor. When Arun Govil portrayed Lord Ram, he delivered his lines with grandeur, making it seem as though the words were divine.”

He further emphasized that an established actor’s prior image can hinder their ability to take on spiritual roles. “I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: if someone already has a well-defined persona in the industry, they shouldn’t be cast in spiritual roles. Audiences struggle to connect with them due to their established image,” Chauhan noted.

He reiterated, “Arun Govil played the role of Lord Ram many years ago, and to this day, he is revered as Lord Ram by the public. Ranbir Kapoor will only be seen as Lord Ram for this film; once he takes on another role, he will be identified by that character. He is already a star, and that image is hard to shake.”
