I hope the film does well because it’s a historical story for us… a mythological epic. We’ve all grown up watching Ramanand Sagar’s ‘Ramayan’, so that’s the benchmark we have in our minds.

We still have to watch the film, so only after seeing it will we know how everything comes together on screen. These roles are very challenging for everyone, you know. Surpassing the old Ramayan is a huge task. Everyone has worked very hard, so I wish them all the very best).”
