I hope the film does well because it’s a historical story for us… a mythological epic. We’ve all grown up watching Ramanand Sagar’s ‘Ramayan’, so that’s the benchmark we have in our minds.

On being asked her views about Ranbir Kapoor’s casting as Lord Ram in the film, the ‘Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai’ actress replied, “Mujhe lagta hai har ek ne apna kirdar ache tarike se kiya hai, and abhi film dekhna baaki hai, toh film dekh ke pata chalega ki kaise dikhenge… Bohot mushkil hai sabke liye yeh kirdar, you know… Purane ‘Ramayan’ ko beat karna… Ek task hai… Everyone has worked very hard… So I wish them well (I think everyone has played their respective characters well. We still have to watch the film, so only after seeing it will we know how everything comes together on screen. These roles are very challenging for everyone, you know. Surpassing the old Ramayan is a huge task. Everyone has worked very hard, so I wish them all the very best).”
