These days everyone is talking about Nitesh Tiwari's new 'Ramayana' movie. Especially on April 2, when we are getting the first look at Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama.
People are Curious and excited to see him in this holy role. But did you know that the Kapoor family has a 92-year-old connection with this epic?
So here is the history which is not known to our generation. Long before Ranbir Kapoor, his great-grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor played the role of Lord Rama on the big screen.
It happened way back in 1934 when talking films (talkie cinema) had just started in India. The Famous film maker of that era, Debaki Bose, made a film called 'Seeta'. It was based on the Uttar Kaand of the Ramayana.
Back in those days, making such a movie was a huge task. The technology was very new and raw. But even then, 'Seeta' became a massive hit. It was actually the first Indian talkie to be shown at the Venice Film Festival, where it even won a special award.
Prithviraj Kapoor (Prithviraj Kapoor) was only 28 years old at that time. He had a great personality and a very powerful voice, which was perfect for the voice of Lord Rama.
Though Prithviraj Kapoor was already successful after 'Alam Ara', but this, film made him a superstar. The legendary Durga Khote (Durga Khote) played the role of Seeta. Before this, Durga Khote mostly worked in Marathi films and this was her one of her big Hindi movie. It made her famous overnight.
There is another interesting story about the casting of the film where Prithviraj played Lord Rama. His younger brother Trilok Kapoor was also in the movie. He played the role of 'Luv' who is the son of Lord Rama.
This was the first time the Kapoor family showed their talent in a big mythological film. People were amazed to see the grace with which Prithviraj played the role.
About 26 years later, Prithviraj and Durga Khote worked together again in the classic 'Mughal-e-Azam'. They played the iconic King and Queen there.
Now after almost a hundred years, history is repeating itself. Ranbir Kapoor (Ranbir Kapoor) is taking forward the legacy that his great-grandfather once started. Nitesh Tiwari (Nitesh Tiwari) is making this new 'Ramayana' on a very large scale. They are using modern technology and special effects to bring that ancient era back to life.
For Ranbir this is not just a role but a way to honor his family history. In this film, While Ranbir is playing Rama, the talented Sai Pallavi (Sai Pallavi) is playing Seeta.
The film is going to be released in three parts and the first part might come out around Diwali this year.
In 1934, when Prithviraj Kapoor played Rama, movies were only in black and white. There were no big screens or digital sound. Still 'Seeta' made India proud on an international stage. Today Ranbir has a big responsibility. He has to win the hearts of today's audience and also keep the dignity of his great-grandfather's work alive.
The journey of the Kapoor family from the Great grandfather to the great grandson is truly amazing.
Many films and shows have been made on the Ramayana till this day, but the strategy for this new film is quite different. It is being made for a global audience.
Ranbir has worked very hard on his body and his voice for this role. It will be quiet interesting to see if this new 'Ram' can win hearts just like Prithviraj Kapoor did in 1934.
This movie is like a bridge between the old history of cinema and the modern world of today. (Bollywood historical connections and Ranbir Kapoor updates)
