Vindu Dara Singh reacts to Ramayana teaser
In an interview with DNA, Vindu Dara Singh reacted to the teaser and said, "It looks spectacular, very beautiful. But there is a strict rule. Jo Ramayan Ramanand Sagar ji ki bane hai, woh hum sabke dil-o-dimaag poori fit hai. Woh jo Ramayan hai, woh historic hai, number one hai. Agar yeh picture uske saath match ho gayi, then it will be superhit. It will be a record-breaking hit. Kuch bhi deviation agar ki, jaise is mein woh khatarnaak (asur) se dikh rahe hai, toh agar zyada upar-neeche kiya (The Ramayan made by Ramanand Sagar ji is deeply ingrained in all our hearts and minds. That Ramayan is historic, it is number one. If this film manages to match up to that, then it will be a superhit. It will be a record-breaking hit. But if there is any deviation at all, like how they are showing him looking dangerous like an asur here, if they change too much), people will not accept it."
He further praised the visuals in the teaser and praised Ranbir's portrayal of Lord Rama. He also believes that Ranbir's acting would be classy.
He also confessed that Nitesh Tiwari's vision looks way better than Prabhas' Adipurush. "Yeh jitna bhi dekha hai, usse to bahut better lag rahi hai. Woh toh pata nahi kya tha. Main trailer dekh ke samaj gaya tha ki yeh flop hogi. Kya hi chal raha tha. You can't deviate so much and have Hanuman ji saying all these dialogues (From whatever I’ve seen so far, this looks much better than that. I don’t even know what that was. I could tell just by watching the trailer that it was going to flop. What on earth was going on? You can’t deviate so much and then have Hanuman ji saying all those dialogues)."
