Arun Govil on how he bagged Ram’s role
Arun Govil will reveal how he bagged the lead role in Ramayan on The Kapil Sharma Show.
Prior to Ramayan, Arun Govil played the character of King Vikramaditya in Vikram and Baital. He shared on the show that when he got to know Ramayan was being made, he reached out to the producer and told him that he is interested to play the lead role. The producer did not sign him and went on hunting for another actor for more than a month. After failing to find the perfect actor, he called Govil back saying he will never find anyone better than him.
The cast members of Ramayan were not aware of their popularity since they shot the show for more than three years in Mumbai’s outskirts.

Arun Govil, who rose to fame playing Lord Ram shared that he was approached by a number of magazines to do sensuous photoshoots. He shared that since the actors had a very pious on-screen image, many media houses wanted to experiment with their look and get them to flaunt their bold side. However, given that the audience looked up to them, none of them did it, even when big money was offered to them.
