Actor Adinath Kotare discusses his experience in the film 'Ramayana': initially tried out for Lakshmana's role, but received Bharat's role

Nitish Bhardwaj, an actor who played Lord Krishna in B.R. Chopra's television series 'Mahabharata', watched the film 'Ramayana' featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, and expressed strong disappointment with it. He stated that there is nothing good to be said about this adaptation.

He shared his opinion in a long social media post, noting that the film does not meet the standard of Indian cinema on the international stage. Bhardwaj accused the filmmakers of distorting the history, heritage, and spiritual values of India.

In his Instagram post, Nitish emphasized that 'Ramayana' is not just a story but an integral part of India's civilization and spiritual consciousness. He also raised objections to how the character of Ravana was portrayed in the film. In his view, the depiction of Ravana alters the original lesson and moral principles of the 'Ramayana.'

The actor wrote that presenting Ravana as extremely generous, a proponent of social justice, and an impartial person changes the moral foundation of the 'Ramayana', which calls into question the true purpose of embodying a divine avatar. He also clarified that his initial praise for the trailer did not match his impressions after watching the entire film.

Expressing his disappointment, he stated that he could not find a single positive aspect in the movie. He noted that magnificent visual effects (VFX) cannot replace the value, philosophical depth, and spiritual essence of this epic. Bhardwaj insisted that India's cultural heritage must be presented to the world properly, and questioned whether such a film has the right to represent India on the international scene.

He concluded: 'In my opinion, this film is not worthy of representing Indian cinema internationally because it distorts India's history, heritage, and core spiritual values.'

It should be noted that previously Nitish Bhardwaj had spoken in support of the film, suggesting that 'Ramayana' should receive an 'Oscar' as the best international film. However, he is now retracting his previous statements. Many people have supported his viewpoint. It remains to be seen how this will affect the box office collection of 'Ramayana.'

Regarding collections, the film has reached the mark of 700 crore worldwide. On Monday, it set a significant record for collections in India, and on Tuesday, being a working day, the film also showed good results. Now it remains to be seen if it can reach the planned budget of 2000 crore.

After appearing on the big screen in the film 'Ramayana' with Ranbir Kapoor, where he played the role of Prabhu Rama, actor Ravi Dubey attracted viewers' attention with his look as Lakshman. He won the public's favor not only with his innocent appearance but also with his impressive physical condition.

Following the film's premiere, Ravi Dubey became a topic of discussion due to his energy and excellent physical fitness. Many are curious how he manages to look so young and toned at the age of 42. However, it turned out that his secret lies not in magic, but in regular training, balanced nutrition, and discipline.

The actor considers fitness an integral part of his life. Daily, he dedicates about one and a half hours to physical exercises, including strength training no less than four times a week. Strength sessions help strengthen muscles and give the body power, while daily runs or walks of about 10 kilometers contribute to increasing endurance and stamina.

According to Ravi, simply going to the gym is not enough to maintain shape; nutrition plays an equally important role. He adheres to a healthy and clean diet, focusing on organic and natural products. Reports indicate that he pays attention to portion control and creating a calorie deficit. Furthermore, Ravi specified that he does not use protein shakes or supplements, preferring to get protein from food.

The actor also emphasizes the importance of body hydration, advising to drink eight to ten glasses of water daily to prevent various health problems. Additionally, he ensures adequate sleep. Ravi believes that yoga and mental relaxation are just as important for combating stress as physical exercise. He concludes that if these principles are followed, fitness will surely reward him.
