The teaser of Ramayana has drawn divided reactions and now Sunil Lahri has made a critical comment on Ranbir Kapoor’s portrayal of Lord Ram.In an interview with DNA, Sunil Lahri admitted that although Ranbir’s look works to some extent, it lacks a certain quality associated with the character.“Ranbir looks fine, but the innocence is a little less. The patience, calm and innocence that Arun Govil had is missing here. But I am sure he will justify the role with his acting,” he said.
“Seems a bit harsh”
Sunil also addressed the ongoing conversation around Ranbir’s latest on-screen avatar, especially after Animal.“He looks a bit harsh; he is more suited to Laxman or Bharath. For such a role, it is always better to cast a fresh face. A fresh actor, without image or controversy, is always the perfect partner,” he added.
