According to him, ‘Ramayana’ delves into the essence of Indian culture by shedding light on the interactions inside families and between husbands and wives. He elaborated, “Just to be a part of that story, I am so humbled to essay Ram’s role. It’s a dream for me. It’s a film that has everything. It teaches what Indian culture is about — family dynamics and husband-wife dynamics."
