Veteran actor Arun Govil shared his thoughts on A.R. Rahman’s role in the upcoming drama “Ramayana” amidst the recent controversy surrounding the composer. When asked about the potential impact of the controversy on the movie, Govil redirected the question to the producers of “Ramayana” or A.R. Rahman himself, stating he was not informed about the issue. This comes in light of Rahman’s recent comments on limited work offers in Bollywood and suggestions of communal bias.
Arun Govil’s statement coincides with A.R. Rahman’s clarification following backlash over his remarks, emphasizing that he did not intend to offend anyone and expressing gratitude for being Indian. Arun Govil is set to portray King Dashrath in Nitesh Tiwari’s anticipated “Ramayana,” alongside Ranbir Kapoor and ‘KGF’ star Yash. Additionally, Govil responded to Dipika Chikhlia’s opinion that seeing him in roles other than Ram seemed out of place, acknowledging her perspective as valid.
