Actor Arun Govil garnered popularity by essaying the role of Shri Ram in Ramanand Sagar’s rendition of epic Ramayan. With the hit show airing again on Doordarshan after 30 years of broadcast, Arun is back in limelight.
However, a photo of the actor in a scene with Bollywood actor Jeetendra has gone viral recently. The scene is from Lav Kush, a 1997 film directed by V Madhusudhan Rao. While Jeetendra played Ram in the movie, Jaya Prada was Sita and Arun had played the role of Ram’s younger brother Lakshman.
After the photo was posted on Twitter, netizens had a blast thinking how the same actor essayed both the brothers’ characters.
Film trade analyst Sumit Kadel also tweeted the interesting trivia.
