00:00The world comes to worship Raam, but not to see Raam.

00:22By playing the role of Raam, a lot of changes came in my life.

00:26Some people say that by playing the role of Ravan, I become Ravan or I become aggressive.

00:33There is nothing like that.

00:35As long as I am on that stage, I am in that role.

00:38As soon as I come down from the stage, I become normal.

00:41And my family is also happy that I play the role of Ravan.

00:44So people say that I justify well with that role.

00:49This is the biggest thing for me.

00:56Whatever character you play, immerse yourself completely in it.

01:00Observe the character and his feelings and then direct it towards the audience.

01:11I have a small dialogue in this film.

01:14The concept has been changed.

01:16The character should have an essence in it.

01:20Because he already knew everything.

01:22So I take it in a positive way.

01:42I see the same qualities in positive and negative.

01:47Because I have played both the characters.

01:49I have also acted in Kans.

01:51So I have a negative character.

01:53But both the characters have their own qualities.

02:00It is wrong to say that Ravan was a villain.

02:02If someone's family is dying, who will be a better person than him?

02:08I think so.

02:09When I played the character, I realized that Ravan was a little egoistic.

02:14But there is nothing wrong in that.

02:16Because I immerse myself completely in the character.

02:18When I play the role of Ravan, I accept him only for 10 days.

02:23The rest is like you are spending your life.

02:26I am also with my children.

02:33Ravan is a very different character.

02:35Ravan to be very precise.

02:38Ravan is the best role in this world.

02:41He was a very big priest.

02:43He was a very big scholar.

02:45He was a very brave warrior.

02:49It's a very magical character.

02:51And it doesn't suit everyone.

02:53His voice, his performance as Ravan is just amazing.

03:00When I play Ravan, I feel like I am Ravan.

03:04I have heard that people in the south think Ravan is good.

03:09But we don't think so.

03:11People have different points of views.

03:16Ramcharitmanas has a lot of truth in it.

03:22It is not just a play.

03:25Ravan is portrayed as a villain.

03:31There is nothing wrong in that.

03:34He was not a villain.

03:36But he was not a villain.

03:39We try to kill the Ravan in the form of Ravan.

03:44But no one can kill Ravan in this world.

03:47And if the Ravan in the form of Ravan dies,

03:52then the world will be in the hands of Ram.
