Mumbai, April 8 Ranbir Kapoor's first look as Lord Ram from Nitesh Tiwari's "Ramayana" has received positive feedback from Moti Sagar, the son of "Ramayan" creator Ramanand Sagar, who also dismissed comparisons between the 1987 TV series and the upcoming film, citing their differing formats.
The film's first teaser was released last week on Hanuman Jayanti and gave audiences a sneak peek into the world of the movie and Kapoor's Lord Ram. The movie is backed by producer Namit Malhotra.
However, the teaser has received mixed reviews, with some praising the spectacle while others criticizing the special effects in the movie.
Moti Sagar, who co-directed the show with his father, said it would be unfair to judge the film based on its teaser, but added that he liked Kapoor as Lord Ram, a character immortalized by veteran actor Arun Govil in his father's version of "Ramayan".
"I expect something very good from 'Ramayana' as he (Ranbir) is one of the best actors we have today, especially in terms of performance, including getting the emotions right. He is such a talented actor and has so much depth. But you cannot judge anything from this teaser.
"The actor has so much depth in his performance. He must have put a lot of effort into this character. So, I would like to see the whole film and then comment. I'm expecting something very good from this film," Moti Sagar told
