Drishyam The Conclusion had been in the news even before it went on floors, especially after Akshaye Khanna walked out of the film at the last minute. Jaideep Ahlawat then stepped in, giving the makers much-needed relief. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Aamil Keeyan Khan, who wrote the dialogues and is also one of the screenplay writers and lyricists of the film, spoke about this aspect. Aamil Keeyan Khan said, Seven or eight days before the shoot was to start, he walked out of the film. When he left, hum log pe bomb phoota tha! The dates of everyone were locked and a new character had to be introduced. We didnt have a choice. There was no time left and we had to change several scenes in the first half and second half. We worked day and night at that time. We had to not just introduce a new character but also raise the stakes. Since so much was happening in the film already, we couldnt lengthen the narrative. And on top of it, we just had seven days to pull it off. It was a major challenge. Thankfully, all went well. The writers also organically established at the beginning of the film that IG Tarun Ahlawat (Akshaye Khanna) was no longer handling the case and that Rajveer Singh Tomar (Jaideep Ahlawat) of the Crime Branch had now taken an interest in it. Aamil explained, Yes, we needed to address it. Hats off to Abhishek Pathak. In that situation, any other director would have panicked, but he didnt. The film could have been pushed ahead. In that case, it would not have been easy for him as he was also one of the producers. But he remained calm. He added, What people dont realise is that when something like this happens, its always the little guy who suffers. Do haathi ki ladaai mein hamesha ghaas kuchalti hai. When a film gets postponed, the big names can survive, but what about the hundreds of people whose livelihoods depend on the films shoot starting on time? The dadas, spot boys, lightmen they are the ones who suffer. And it is to Abhisheks credit that he made sure the shoot didnt have to be pushed any further. All the HODs worked really hard to ensure that the train stayed on time. Im just glad it all worked out.

On September 23, the nominations for the 54th International Emmy Awards were announced and, in a significant achievement for India, the SonyLIV series Real Kashmir Football Club bagged a nomination in the Best Drama Series category. The recognition came as a pleasant surprise for the team, who are understandably on cloud nine. Its lead writer and executive producer is Simaab Hashmi, who is also the writer and creative producer of Force 3. The much-awaited action film brings together John Abraham and Harshvardhan Rane for the first time. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Simaab Hashmi spoke about Force 3, which is all set to release on March 19, 2027. Simaab Hashmi said, Force 3 is bigger, better and badder than ever before! People are pumped up about the combination of John Abraham and Harshvardhan Rane. Seeing them together on the big screen will surely pack a punch (smiles). Simaab was all praise for both John Abraham and Harshvardhan Rane. He revealed, In our industry, there is a lot of lip service. A lot of filmmakers claim in interviews, We should support writers. But when you meet them or during narrations, you dont always feel that energy. I was on the set of Force 3 as I am also a creative producer, and I saw how collaborative both John Abraham and Harshvardhan Rane were. They are such nice people and genuinely care about what the director and writer have to say. I tell people, Both of them have spoilt me and director Bhav Dhulia! They were so welcoming and warm towards every idea we threw at them. He added, John Abraham has really been a leader who has led the film both as a producer and an actor. As for Harshvardhan Rane, we share such a bond that I call him Harsh bhai. Harshvardhan Rane has had a huge fan following, but box-office success had largely eluded him. That changed last year when Sanam Teri Kasam was re-released and amassed huge numbers. It also gave a boost to his Diwali release, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, which emerged as a sleeper hit last year. On this, Simaab smiled and said, It proves that you cant keep a good man down.

The trade and industry expected Drishyam The Conclusion to open with a bang. Yet, when it collected a huge Rs. 174 crores, it stunned the industry. We asked trade experts about its huge business and what lies ahead. Trade veteran Taran Adarsh said, I was expecting a huge number from the opening weekend, and the film has actually lived up to those expectations in terms of content as well as numbers. Drishyam, as a brand, has only grown. People loved the first part, but they largely saw it on television and digital platforms. Thus, the fan following grew. So, when Drishyam 2 came out, it already had a ready-made audience. With the second part faring so well at the box office, it laid the foundation for the third part, as far as the numbers are concerned. When the second part opened so big, the third part was bound to be 5 or 10 steps ahead. Thats what has happened. He sighed, At the same time, I feel sad that this series has come to an end. The story and characters resonated with the people. Today, people know the Pav Bhaji joke and the satsang connection (laughs). Also, Goa as a backdrop, the Salgaonkar family, the quest for Meera to take Vijay Salgaonkar to task everything about these films became so memorable. Hence, theres definitely a sense of loss now that the series has come to an end. Vishek Chauhan, owner of Roopbani Cinema in Purnia, Bihar, expressed, It was a surprise. I didnt expect it to open the way it did. It is among the biggest openers in recent times. Also, its a film which doesnt have any of the commercial trappings like hit music, romance, comedy, etc. Its a plot-driven franchise with a dash of murder mystery. Its not an ideal family entertainer in the truest sense, though the family values are very strong. Hence, its opening was surprising. The reason probably is that the love for the franchise has become immense. That is what drove the huge ticket sales. People had this trust that theyll have a good time. Trade analyst Atul Mohan said, Yes, it was a pleasant surprise. We expected the film to open in the range of Rs. 40 crores plus. The series has a huge following. In fact, I told Kumar ji (producer Kumar Mangat Pathak) before the release, Congratulations, ab ki paar, 300 paar! Distributor and exhibitor Raj Bansal confessed, I didnt expect the film to do this much. I was expecting an opening of Rs. 45 crores, but it ended up having a first day collection of Rs. 62 crores. Similarly, I expected a weekend of Rs. 140 crores, but it collected Rs. 175 crores in three days. A collection of Rs. 20 crores on Monday is huge. He also remarked, Drishyam didnt have scope for music and yet it has done so well. If there was scope for music, the film would have done better by 15-20%. Lifetime predictions Trade experts feel that itll have a huge lifetime but not sure if itll collect Rs. 500 crores. Taran Adarsh said, Its a bit too early to say. Udta Teer has been shifted ahead. So, they have an open run and the second weekend will also be fantastic. But on October 16, two prominent films will be up for release Prahaar and Nayyi Navelli. They wont take away all the screens and audiences. But there will be choice for the audience. Lets see if Drishyam is able to put up a tough fight at that point. Nevertheless, the job is done. It has crossed Rs. 200 crores and will move towards the Rs. 300 crore mark. Atul Mohan stated, Rs. 400 crores lifetime is on for sure. The film has 2 open weeks to score. Itll face competition in the third week. But when a film is doing so well, the first preference of the multiplexes is to retain shows of the successful holdover film. So, they would allocate sufficient slots to Drishyam. Raj Bansal opined, I am expecting the film to have a lifetime in the range of Rs. 400 crores and Rs. 450 crores. It can do Rs. 500 crores. However, the pre-Diwali period would kick in. That has a major effect on footfalls, especially in North India. Also, Ramayana will arrive in the first week of November. If it had no such obstacles, it would have a chance in crossing the Rs. 500 crores mark. Nevertheless, itll have a steady run as viewers are loving the film. Vishek Chauhan explained, Its a possibility, but I still believe that genre limitations will kick in. Yes, it has opened well, but will it have enough gas to reach the Rs. 500 crore mark? That remains to be seen. For that, the film should have had a little bit more of commercial trappings to get the audience in. Never say never, but Rs. 350-400 crore finish is definitely on the cards. In fact, Ill be very disappointed if it doesnt do Rs. 400 crores. And if it hits the Rs. 500 crore mark, Ill be very ecstatic. He added, Theres a major advantage that theres no competing film. So, it has an open run for 2 weeks. However, once we hit the Dussehra festivities, people will get a bit diverted. Anyway, whats important is that a film like this collecting Rs. 300-400 crores is simply phenomenal.

Abhishek Bachchan has revealed that Shah Rukh Khan has played an important role in his professional journey and has remained a source of guidance over the years. Ahead of King, Abhishek recalled a piece of advice from the superstar that he received even before making his acting debut. According to him, Khans simple approach was that an actor should consider the film he is currently working on as his favourite. Speaking to BBC Asian Network, Abhishek looked back at the years when he would spend Sundays playing cricket at filmmaker Aditya Chopras house. Uday Chopra, Hrithik Roshan and Sikandar Kher were among those who would join him. Shah Rukh Khan was also around during that time, and Abhishek remembered him as an elder brother to the group. The video was also liked by Hrithik. Abhishek said his equation with Shah Rukh has remained strong, adding that the actor has continued to support him throughout his career. Talking about Khans involvement in his professional journey, he said, literally taken personal responsibility several times now, including in King as well. Abhishek also recalled a conversation with Shah Rukh before he entered the film industry. He had asked Khan which film was his favourite. The superstar replied, My favourite film is the film I am doing right now. Because if that is not my favourite film, then why am I doing it? So, what I am doing right now has to be my favourite. What has happened in the past is the past. I don't think about it. Right now it is King. The advice has stayed with Abhishek and continues to influence how he looks at his work. Meanwhile, King is directed by Siddharth Anand and backed by Gauri Khans Red Chillies Entertainment along with Siddharth and Mamta Anands Marflix Pictures. The action thriller features Shah Rukh Khan alongside Suhana Khan, who will make her theatrical debut with the film. She plays a young protege trained by Shah Rukhs veteran assassin. The film also stars Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhay Verma, Jaideep Ahlawat and Arshad Warsi. Recent reports have also suggested that Kareena Kapoor Khan could reunite with Shah Rukh for a dance number in the film. King is scheduled to release worldwide in theatres on December 24, 2026. Abhishek was last seen in Kaalidhar Laapata on ZEE5, directed by Madhumita.

There is a distinctive charm to an Aanand L Rai film, and with Nayyi Navelli, Rai backs yet another unconventional story with a difference, this time bringing a bigger canvas, larger-than-life characters and an all-out dose of entertainment to the big screen. The highly anticipated film from Amazon MGM Studios and Colour Yellow brings together family, fantasy, action, humour and plenty of masala, promising an unabashed big-screen family entertainer designed for audiences to experience together. Set against the backdrop of a madcap family and an extraordinary turn of events, the film blends the warmth of family dynamics with fantasy, mystery, action and unexpected twists, creating a larger-than-life theatrical experience for audiences across age groups. Speaking about the strong female characters in Nayyi Navelli and the real-life influences that shaped them, Aanand L Rai shared, Many of the characters we have created are inspired by the people we have seen around us. If I speak about my mother, my wife, or Himanshus mother, we have all grown up seeing strong women within our families. These are the personalities who have held us together, given us strength, and shaped who we are. That influence has always stayed with us, and it is reflected in this film as well. He further added, I was telling Yami that, Youre such a good student and such a fighter, I feel like theres so much I can learn from you. So, these are not characters that we have simply created from our imagination. They are inspired by the women we see around us, the women whose strength and individuality we experience every day. This film is, in many ways, a thank you to all the women around us. Headlined by Yami Gautam Dhar in a never-before-seen avatar, Nayyi Navelli brings to life Indias very own fantasy family-entertainer, packed with masti, mystery, action and all-out masala entertainment. Arriving in cinemas across India on 16th October, ahead of Dussehra, the film is geared up to bring fun, fantasy and spectacle to the festive season, offering audiences a quintessential family outing at the movies. Directed by Balaji Mohan and written by Himanshu Sharma and Divy Nidhi Sharma, the film also stars Addinath M Kothare, Anurag Thakur, Sunita Rajwar, Mita Vasisth, Aaditya Kulshreshth, Susmita Mukherjee, Prateek Pachori, Akshat Singh, Babita Pandey, Ajay Pal and Neeraj Singh in pivotal roles.

Actor and author Anupam Kher paid tribute to celebrated British author Jeffrey Archer, remembering a meeting that became a particularly meaningful moment in his own journey as a first-time author. Sharing an old photograph from their interaction, Kher recalled meeting Archer at the Emirates Literature Festival in Dubai and presenting him with his first book, The Best Thing About You Is You. Kher shared the photograph on social media along with a heartfelt note following Archers passing. Reflecting on the authors contribution to literature, he remembered himself as a longtime admirer of Archers work, particularly books such as Kane and Abel and Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less. Deeply saddened by the passing of the great storyteller, #JeffreyArcher. I have been, and will always remain, a great admirer of his writing, Kher wrote. Anupam Kher recalls meeting Jeffrey Archer Kher said he had the opportunity to meet Archer at the Emirates Literature Festival in Dubai, where he presented the author with his debut book. I had the opportunity to meet him at the Emirates Literature Festival in Dubai and present him with my first book, The Best Thing About You Is You. It was a brief yet very important meeting for me! One of the highlights of my life, he recalled. For Kher, the photograph from that occasion has taken on a deeper meaning with Archers passing. Looking at this photograph today, what touches me most is that he is holding my book in his hand. A writer whose books I had held with such admiration was now holding mine. There was something so beautiful about that moment, Kher wrote. He also remembered how he viewed himself during the meeting, despite being an established actor and a newly published author. I was an actor and a first-time author, but beside him, I was simply an excited admirer, he added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anupam Kher (@anupampkher) The advice that stayed with Anupam Kher Kher also recalled the conversation he shared with Archer during their meeting. He remembered asking the author what he considered most important for a writer: We had a lovely chat. I remember asking him what he considered the most important thing for a writer. What stayed with me from his answer was the importance of memory and imagination. Those words have remained with me ever since. Looking back at the encounter, Kher connected Archers words with his own memories of the meeting. Today, my memory takes me back to that meeting, while his imagination lives on through his stories, he wrote. An old photograph becomes more precious Kher reflected on how the loss of someone admired can change the meaning of memories and photographs associated with them. He acknowledged, We all know that everyone has to go one day. Yet, when someone we admire is suddenly no longer here, we feel a vacuum that this knowledge cannot fill, he wrote. For Kher, the photograph with Archer has now become a lasting reminder of their brief interaction. An old photograph becomes more precious. A brief conversation returns with unexpected clarity. And we wish we could have that moment once more, he added. Concluding his tribute, Kher thanked Archer for his work, his warmth and the memory they shared. Thank you, Mr. Archer, for your stories, your warmth, and for holding my first book with such kindness. It is a memory I will always cherish, he wrote, while offering his condolences to Archers family and readers. Rest in peace. You will always have an admirer in me, Kher concluded.

Samvedna Suwalka played Vijay Salgaonkars (Ajay Devgn) lawyer Gayathri Mohan in Drishyam 2. She had a memorable monologue at the end. But she got a bigger and meatier part in the recently-released third part of the franchise, Drishyam The Conclusion. She stood on her own despite her character being pitted against someone as senior as Prakash Raj. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Samvedna got candid on life after Drishyam The Conclusion, her memorable process of auditioning for Drishyam 2 and her more than a decade long career. How has life been after the release of Drishyam The Conclusion? I am in a controlled delirium. I started in 2013. My career hasnt been an overnight success. It has been a sustained success. I had Bey Yaar in 2014, which was a huge hit in Gujarat. That gave me a validation that acting choose kiya hai toh kaam milega. It was a temporary stardom with Pratik Gandhi and all. It was very interesting that that happened and I would come to Bombay and still be a struggling actor, stand in lines and give auditions. Over a period of a decade, I have built my career very slowly. Every year, I would think that I have moved one step ahead. Somewhere around lockdown, I started getting work in mainstream Bollywood because I did plays and a lot of independent films, which went to festivals but never saw the light of the day. OTT also gave me a great opportunity. I got a lot of shows where I played primary characters like Jee Karda and Gyarah Gyarah. I did Fighter and Drishyam 2 as well. When Drishyam 2 happened, I thought it has big stars, so my role will come and go. But even for that part I got so much validation from the audience, which was very surprising. I had never been a part of such a big film. I knew Drishyam 3 is going to be big. I knew this time I had a bigger, better and meatier part. Thats why I am using the word controlled because I kind of knew (the response). But even if you know, when you actually experience it, you realize how it is. So, right now I am experiencing success. My Instagram followers are increasing. I am getting calls; my parents are getting calls. It feels like my 10-12 years of hard work is paying off. What was your reaction when you came to know that you have a bigger role the third film? People knew that Drishyam 3 is being made. I was waiting. I also sent a message to the writer Aamil Keeyan Khan asking if the lawyer is coming back (in part 3). He replied with, All in good time. I also messaged someone from the production asking if Drishyam 3 is happening and they were like, Yes, its happening but they didnt say more. I was eager to know if I would be there in the film. I had my fingers crossed and I told God, Bhagwan, Gayathri Mohan ko wapas le aana (laughs). You cant be sure. Maybe, they dont go to the court this time or bring any other lawyer. Then later when I got a call from the casting asking if I have dates, I was like, For what? They said its for Drishyam 3. I was like, Yes, we are in. During the reading, Aamil came in and said that they should do the reading. When I started reading my 2nd or 3rd scene, I was like, Itna kaam hai mera. Main court ke baahar bhi hoon. He looked at me, smiled and said, Take it in, your life is going to change (laughs). I took a long breath and said, This is going to be fantastic. How was your first ever meet with Ajay Devgn? In part 3, I have scenes with Ajay sir and his family and then I got to the court. In part 2, there is a small sequence where Ajay sir and his family are taken to the court. That was the first time I met Ajay sir, Shriya (Saran) maam and their family. It was a very formal Hi hello. I only had to say my lines, so we didnt speak much. Ajay sir gave his shot and walked away. He was very reserved. Shriya maam spoke to me a lot. But my proper meeting with Ajay sir was when I had my courtroom monologue in the climax. That scene happened with Ajay sir standing in the witness box. It was my second meet. He came and said, How are you Samvedna? I was like, Arre he remembers me (laughs). He keeps really quiet. He mostly keeps it to himself. But his intensity and energy is such that everyone is aware that Ajay sir is there. I was like, I have to get this right as I have to perform in front of Ajay sir. I was very prepared. The monologue was okayed by Abhishek in just one take. I asked, You dont want another take? He said, Nahin, mil gaya. By the end of that afternoon by lunch break, Ajay sir was walking away. He came up to me, patted me on my back, smiled and said, Well done and walked away. Just like that. I was like my day and life were made (laughs)! This is my first memory of him and I cherish that. How were you cast in Drishyam 2? Was there an audition? It was as boring as auditions happen. It was literally a generic audition. I will never forget this. In 2021 October, there was no war between Ukraine and Russia. I had gone to Ukraine to shoot an ad. It was an Indian ad but it was being shot in Ukraine for production reasons. When I was about to return in the flight, I got a message from the casting associate saying there is a small role in Drishyam 2 but its an important role. Usually this is what is told to actors the role is small but significant. Thats the way people are convinced to give auditions. I was told it was for three days. I said okay I will do the audition. There was no excitement. Drishyam was big but I thought it would be an insignificant role as it has such a big cast. They were constantly asking me to send the audition soon as they had to lock it soon. Pushkaraj Chirputkar played my husband in the ad. He was helping me with the lines in the flight. I was reciting the monologue to him. He liked what I did and said that I will get that part. But I didnt think so thinking there must be so many people lined up for a big film like this. I came back to India and sent the audition. I didnt think much of it. But after a week or 10 days, I was told that the director liked it and asked me to come for a meeting. Abhishek asked me whether I would like to do the role. I asked what the role is about. I readily agreed. It was just like a generic audition. In the 3rd part, your character is pitted against a veteran actor like Prakash Raj. How was the whole experience of on screen arguments with him? Prakash Raj sir is such a seasoned actor. You grew up watching him. In Hindi films, at least, he usually plays a villain. Even before you meet him, there is this idea of him being a very powerful person and all of that. Even when you meet him, he is tall and towering. I asked the writers how come they continued with me. They said if Gayathri Mohan has won the case for Vijay in part 2, why will he change the lawyer? And he is like a middle-class man from Goa, so he will continue with his people. They said Tabu will bring a very powerful lawyer and they wanted this to look like a very David vs Goliath chemistry on screen. And Ajay sir is playing an underdog. So, if a woman is fighting for him in front of a powerful towering man, it is an extension of that underdog. I was like, Arre baap re Prakash Raj sir ke saamne karna hai. But I was excited also as I have been around and done some work. Once we get into the character, its about what those two characters are doing. Thats the fun part of it; between action and cut, we are what our characters are. We were rivals, we were fighting each other, we were vicious, manipulative, etc. But the moment cut happens, sir will say, Lunch break mein maine khana mangaya hai, khayegi kya? I would say, Of course, sir. I used to eat food with him. And he used to get delicious food. He is fond of cooking. At times, even his wife would bring food and we would eat. But then on the set, we are again fighting each other (laughs). It was a joy to be on this set. Purely from craft and acting perspective, when you work with veterans, it elevates you. They are so good at what they do that they make you better. Where do we see you next after Drishyam The Conclusion? I have shot an independent film called DINK (Double Income No Kids). This was with a Marathi producer but we shot this in English. This is an Indo-British collaboration. I shot it this in London in August. I just completed Ribhu Dasguptas Guru with John Abraham. I was shooting for this in London till last week. These two films will take a little while to come out next year. But my immediate next is a film with Subhash Ghai called Manya. Subhash sir has written and produced it. Its directed by Sameer Joshi. I am one of the main characters.

Bigg Boss 20 contestant Scout OP, also known as Tanmay Singh, has been at the centre of discussion over his changing equation with fellow housemate Love Gill. Amid growing speculation around his feelings for Love, his girlfriend and gaming creator Kaashvi Hiranandani has now addressed the buzz during a recent livestream. Scout OP and Kaashvi, who is also known as Kaashi, have reportedly been in a relationship for around five years. Inside the Bigg Boss 20 house, Scout has referred to Love as his sister. However, a recent conversation with Yung DSA has led viewers to question whether his feelings towards her may be changing. Scout OP talks about his changing feelings for Love Gill During a conversation with Yung DSA around October 5-6, Scout and Yung discussed his equation with Love in a partly coded exchange. The two reportedly used writing on the grass and sign language while discussing the subject. Yung asked Scout, Tera raasta badal raha hai kya? (Is your path changing?) Scout responded, Nahi pata (I dont know). He then said, Sister se pehle friend hota hai na aadmi (a person is a friend before she is a sister). View this post on Instagram A post shared by JioHotstar Reality (@jiohotstarreality) Scout also admitted feeling jealous or possessive when Gullu, played by Kushal Tanwar, flirted with Love or became involved in conversations surrounding their relationship. During the discussion, he also brought up his girlfriend outside the house and expressed concern about how she might react to what was happening inside. While some viewers and reports interpreted the conversation as Scout acknowledging that his feelings for Love were becoming stronger, the exchange did not amount to a direct declaration of love. Scout continued to refer to the sister dynamic, while his I dont know response and comments about jealousy added to the speculation. Yung, meanwhile, said that he had never viewed Love as a sister, further adding to the discussion around Scouts equation with her. Kaashvi Hiranandani says she is okay Addressing the growing online conversation during her latest livestream, Kaashvi acknowledged that many people were waiting to see how she would react to Scouts behaviour inside the Bigg Boss 20 house. A lot of people have been thinking about my reactions to ScoutOPs behaviour inside the house. Firstly, I want to say that I am okay and trying to handle things outside. I genuinely wish Scout well, Kaashvi said. Rather than directly commenting on Scouts feelings for Love, Kaashvi highlighted the difference between how viewers interpret events inside the reality show and her understanding of Scout as someone she knows personally. What people are interpreting inside and outside the house are two different things. One is my personal relationship with Scout, and the other is knowing Scout as a person, she added. Regardless of what is happening, I want Scout to succeed because he has worked really hard to get where he is today, she said. Her response comes amid increasing interest in Scout and Loves friendship inside the house. While viewers continue to speculate about whether Scouts feelings have changed, Kaashvis comments suggest that she is choosing not to publicly draw conclusions about his behaviour and is instead dealing with the situation privately.

The makers of Ramayana have unveiled a new solo poster featuring Arun Govil as King Dashrath, giving audiences a first look at the actor in his role in Nitesh Tiwaris upcoming two-part epic. The casting holds particular significance as Govil remains closely associated with his iconic portrayal of Lord Ram in the television adaptation of Ramayan. In the newly released poster, Arun Govil appears in the regal avatar of King Dashrath, the King of Ayodhya and father of Lord Rama. The reveal marks a notable transition for the actor, who is now stepping into the role of the father of the character he famously portrayed for generations of Indian audiences. The makers shared the poster on social media with the caption: He once brought Ram to life for a generation. Now, he returns to the world of Ramayana as the King of Ayodhya. Arun Govil as King Dashrath. Govils association with the Ramayana universe dates back to his celebrated portrayal of Lord Ram, a role that became an enduring part of his career and public identity. His casting as Dashrath brings that familiarity with the epic into a different character, with the actor now set to portray one of the central figures in Ramas family story. The poster showcases Govil in an elaborate royal look, reflecting the stature of Dashrath as the ruler of Ayodhya. While audiences have traditionally associated the actor with the image of Lord Ram, his appearance as Dashrath offers a different interpretation of his connection to the epic.
