Lahri Questions Ranbir Kapoor’s Portrayal
Actor Sunil Lahri, known for playing Lakshman in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan, has reacted to the teaser of Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming Ramayana. While he acknowledged the scale of the project, he expressed concerns about Ranbir Kapoor’s suitability as Lord Rama. Lahri said Kapoor looks fine but lacks the innocence and calm traditionally associated with the character.
Comparison With Arun Govil’s Iconic Role
Lahri compared Kapoor’s look with Arun Govil’s portrayal, which remains deeply rooted in public memory. He noted that Govil brought patience, serenity, and innocence to the role—qualities he feels are missing in the teaser.
Mixed Reaction Despite Grand Scale
The teaser has generated buzz for its visuals and ambition, but reactions remain divided. Lahri avoided judging the film based on the teaser alone and said actors can still justify roles through performance, leaving room for Kapoor to impress audiences later.
