Ashutosh Rana Reacts To Fans’ Demands Of Seeing Him As Lord Ram In Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: ‘Bhaag Mein Likhi Hogi…’

Ramayana Part 1 has been making a buzz ever since its announcement. Excitement among the audience is high as big stars like Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash are roped into play the roles of Lord Ram, Goddess Sita and Yash as Ravana, respectively. As the film has moved to its post-production stage, Ashutosh Rana responded to fans’ demands of seeing him as Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari’s directorial. The actor stated that he believes in god’s plan and whatever the Almighty has written for him will come his way automatically. Here is what he said.

In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Rana shared, “Mera manna yeah hai ki jo cheez aapke prarambh mein ya aapke bhaag mein bhagwan ne likhi hogi woh apne aap mil jaati hai. Aap sirf ek jagah par baithkar, dhyan lagakar wait kijiye. Pratiksha aur dhairya agar sahi jagah par ki jaaye toh fal bhi zaroort milta hai. Main yeh manta hoon ki humaara ek naatak hai, Ram Naam ke naatak mein main Ravan ka kidaar nibha raha hoon. (Personally, I believe that whatever God has planned for you will find its way. You only need to sit in one place and wait patiently. If your patience and waiting are in the right path, they will pay off. That is what I believe. I believe that life is like a drama, and in the play ‘Ram Naam,’ I am simply presenting the character of Ravan).”

He added, “Aap apne mitro se zyada apne dushmanon ke naam ka chintan karte hai. Toh jiske baare mein aap sochte ho ho aap unke jaise hojaate hai. Toh agar hum Ram ka kirdaar nibha rahe hote toh Ram ji apne baare mein toh naa sochte rehete? Aur agar woh apne baare mein sochte, toh woh fir hum unko Ram kaise kehete (You care more about your enemies than your friends. And the more you think about someone, the more you become like them. So, if we were playing the part of Ram, would he have spent his time thinking about himself? And if he was always thinking of himself, how could we still call him ‘Ram’)?”
