Actor Nitish Bharadwaj, known for his portrayal of Krishna, has publicly requested Ranbir Kapoor to avoid 'Animal'-like roles following his casting as Ram in Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming film.
The request comes amid a broader debate regarding Kapoor's suitability for the mythological role, with some critics questioning if his recent gritty performances align with the character's persona.
Despite the criticism, other industry veterans like Dipika Chikhlia have defended the casting, arguing that a versatile actor should be judged by their ability to adapt to diverse roles.
