Ram’s role after 92 years
The happiness of Ram devotees and film lovers has doubled with this news. Talks about the mythological epic ‘Ramayana’ are continuously increasing on social media. In such a situation, the audience was very happy and surprised to know that Ranbir Kapoor is playing the role of Lord Ram on the big screen after more than 92 years.

Two different generations of the Kapoor family are playing this great character brilliantly on the big screen.
Prithviraj Kapoor’s Ram role in the film ‘Sita’
Prithviraj Kapoor was one of the first legend actors of Indian cinema, who gave life to mythological characters on screen. He played the role of Lord Ram in the film ‘Sita’ made in 1934. Durga Khote played the role of mother Sita in front of him. This film was directed by Debki Bose. This film was very popular at that time. Prithviraj Kapoor was only 28 years old then, but he presented the image of Ram very brilliantly. This film was based on Uttar Kanda of Ramayana and in it, special place was given to Sita’s devotion and trials.
