GV Prakash Kumar says Ramayanas Raavan composition has a certain scale and intensity
National Award-winning singer, composer and actor GV Prakash Kumar has opened up about lending his voice to Yashs character Raavan in Nitesh Tiwaris Ramayana. In an exclusive statement, the musician spoke about how he came on board, the scale of the composition and his experience of recording a song for the mythological epic. Prakash Kumar revealed that his association with the film began after a call from composer AR Rahman. He had recently returned from Ayodhya following the promotions of Nayyi Naveli when he received the opportunity. To be a part of a film like Ramayana, which brings this timeless epic to the big screen on such an extraordinary scale, is an absolute privilege. My journey with the film began quite unexpectedly. I had just returned from Ayodhya after the promotions of Nayyi Naveli when I received a call from A. R. Rahman sir, asking me to sing the song for Yashs Raavan, he said. GV Prakash Kumar on bringing Raavans character into the music Prakash Kumar also spoke about the complexity of Raavan and the challenge of translating the character's personality into a musical performance. Dussehra is a time when we celebrate the triumph of good over evil, but the story of Ramayana also reminds us that its characters are far more layered than a single interpretation. Raavan, in particular, is one of the most fascinating characters in our mythology, immensely powerful, exceptionally knowledgeable, he said. According to the singer, the composition required an approach that went beyond simply performing the song. Raavan is a character of extraordinary complexity, power, intelligence and intensity, and I believe the music has to capture something far beyond what words alone can express. There is a certain scale, and an almost elemental energy to this composition that makes it unlike anything I have sung before, he said. Praising Rahman's work on the project, Prakash Kumar added, With Rahman sirs extraordinary musical vision, the soundscape of Ramayana is being imagined on a truly magnificent canvas. As a singer, the challenge is not merely to sing the notes, but to become a part of that world and contribute something that makes the character feel larger than life. GV Prakash Kumar wants audiences to experience the song in theatres The musician also expressed his excitement about the film and its ensemble cast, which includes Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash in key roles. I feel incredibly fortunate to have received this opportunity from Nitesh Tiwari sirs Ramayana, with Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash and such an exceptional ensemble bringing this epic to life, he said. Prakash Kumar particularly hopes audiences experience the song on the big screen. I am particularly excited for audiences to experience this song on the big screen. There is a scale, a sound and an intensity to it that deserves that cinematic setting, he added. He concluded by asking listeners to approach the song without expectations and experience it in the context of Raavan's character. I would love for listeners to discover the song without any preconceived notions and let the music take them into Raavans world. This Dussehra, as we celebrate the eternal significance of the Ramayana, I feel honoured to have contributed my voice to a cinematic journey that promises to be truly memorable, he said.

In the latest episode of Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman Khan spoke about the importance of resolving conflicts before they turn into lasting regrets. Drawing from his own experiences, the actor and host shared a personal conversation with his father, Salim Khan, before recalling how his maternal grandfather reacted to his parents marriage. Salman urged people not to let disagreements remain unresolved for too long, pointing out how delayed reconciliations can cost families precious time together. We all have regrets, and then we repent. Like the other day, I was talking to my father; we were chilling, and I told him, as a son, if I have said anything at any given point of time or I have failed you, then I am really sorry, the actor said. He went on to explain why it is important to address differences as soon as possible. When these things happen, solve it right then. Dont let time pass. If you had solved this the very next day, you could have spent this time with your brother, Salman said. Salman Khan recalls his maternal grandfathers reaction to his parents marriage During the conversation, Salman also spoke about the circumstances surrounding his parents marriage. He recalled that his maternal grandfather was unhappy with his mother Salma Khans decision to marry Salim Khan, who aspired to build a career in the film industry. Let me tell you, when my parents got married, there was no religious connotation. Only my (maternal) grandfather was upset because my mom was marrying a good-looking man who aspires to be an actor. His objection was that she was getting married to someone from the film industry. My moms siblings were okay with this. They liked my father, but my grandfather wondered how his daughter would live in that atmosphere, Salman said. The actor explained that his grandfather remained distant from Salim Khan for five years. When Sohail was born, my nana came from Mahim to Bandra with sweets. He expressed his regret over missing his grandchildren growing up, speaking to the nicest man ever because he had something going on in his head, Salman recalled. Salman Khan says his grandfather lived with regret Salman further shared that his maternal grandfather continued to regret the years he had spent away from the family. He also recalled an incident in which his mother returned to her parental home following an argument with Salim Khan, but her father refused to let her stay. He had this regret till his last breath. Once or twice, when mom and dad fought and mom went back to her house, my nana didnt allow her into the house. He told her, Go back to your house; you can come anytime, but you will not come here after fighting, the actor added.
