Mumbai, Actor Saurabh Sachdeva says he is not bothered by the online chatter and public scrutiny surrounding the much-anticipated film, “Ramayana”, as the makers made it with a lot of care and authenticity.
The film, billed as an ambitious global-scale adaptation of the Indian epic, features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita and Yash as Ravana. After the release of the trailer, the film has received criticism over the visual effects and casting choices, including Kapoor’s portrayal of Lord Ram. “It doesn’t affect me. Now, people have a forum or place to talk about, they can say anything. If you are not getting the story and emotion right, then you can talk about not liking the film. “I think the film is well-made, nothing has been added just to add, or we’ve not done anything just for the sake of it.
It is directed by Nitesh Tiwari of “Dangal” fame. Sachdeva, known for featuring in films such as “Animal”, “Eko” and “Pushpa 2: The Rule”, among others, said the team knew religious subjects could evoke stronger reactions from people. The actor said he “isn’t scared”. Whatever I’ve seen, while dubbing for the film, I feel it is done in a beautiful and right way,” he said. The actor lauded the film’s director Tiwari, whom he described as a “calm and soft-spoken man”. When asked about his expectations from part one of “Ramyana” on his career, Sachdeva said he hopes the film brings him more work.
