Ramayana Legend: Actor Reveals Epic Role Secrets

Saurabh Sachdeva, portraying the character of Marich in Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana: Rise of a Legend,' has opened up about his experience on the mythological epic. He detailed the technology and creative processes involved, emphasizing the director's guidance in maintaining a unified interpretation of the characters. Sachdeva found the scale of the production and the unified vision essential, particularly given the varied existing versions of the Ramayana. He also expressed admiration for co-star Yash's dedication and discipline.

Sachdeva identified the portrayal of Lord Rama and Sita as particularly challenging due to established public perceptions. In contrast, his role as the shapeshifting Marich offered more freedom for physical and vocal interpretation. Looking ahead, the actor revealed his desire to play Duryodhan in a future adaptation of the Mahabharata, believing his training in mask and body work would suit the character's distinct physical presence. Meanwhile, 'Ramayana: Rise of a Legend' has achieved significant box office success, surpassing Rs 1,000 crore globally within eight days of its release.
