Right from Charlie Chaplin to Bradley Cooper, or Raj Kapoor to Ajay Devgn, there have numerous artists who have performed in front of the camera, while wielding the director’s microphone as well. At the same time, there are directors like Subhash Ghai would feature in cameos in their own films. While these facts are well-known, a lesser-known fact perhaps was that even Ramayan director Ramanand Sagar had also displayed his acting skills previously.
A video of the iconic director from the related show Uttar Ramayan has surfaced on social media. The video posted by Doordarshan National on its Twitter handle depicts the celebration of Lord Ram’s return from exile after 14 years. Along with the people, Gods like Shiv and Hanuman are also singing to Lord Ram in the video.
And towards the end of the video, one can see Ramanand Sagar also dressed as a god, along with others Gods on the clouds. Be it confidence or innocence, Ramanand Sagar justified the small but significant part brilliantly.
