Playing a mythological character is a dream for many actors, but only a select few get the chance to embody such iconic figures. Ranbir Kapoor is currently stepping into the role of Lord Ram in the upcoming film "Ramayan", alongside Sai Pallavi as the leading lady.
In a recent interview, renowned casting director Mukesh Chhabra, known for his exceptional talent in discovering and launching Bollywood stars, was asked about his ideal choice for Lord Ram. Without hesitation, he named Tollywood superstar Mahesh Babu, stating, "To play Lord Rama, one needs a captivating and lovable smile. I believe Mahesh Babu fits that description perfectly."
This bold statement from Chhabra, a casting director who has shaped the careers of countless Hindi cinema stars, carries immense weight. Choosing Mahesh Babu, amidst the plethora of big names in the Indian film industry, speaks volumes about his potential to embody the revered deity.
While Ranbir Kapoor is currently portraying Lord Ram in "Ramayan", Chhabra's suggestion highlights Mahesh Babu's appeal as a potential candidate for such a significant role, demonstrating his unique charm and the immense respect he commands within the industry.
