Sidharth Shukla to play Hanuman in Siya Ke Ram?
Buzz is, television actor Sidharth Shukla, currently seen in reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi, will play Lord Hanuman in mythological serial Siya Ke Ram.
While Sidharth is yet to sign on the dotted line, SpotboyE has it that the show’s makers are extremely keen to cast him.
Reason: His immense popularity.
Though many TV shows have been made on the epic, it’s Dara Singh’s portrayal of Hanuman -- in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan which was originally aired on Doordarshan in the eighties -- that remain fresh on people’s minds.
The core team of the show, we hear, wanted someone equally popular and zeroed in on Sid, who became a household name with his portrayal of Shivraj in daily soap Balika Vadhu.
Says a source, “Well-built and 6 feet tall, Sidarth has the physique to carry off the role. He is extremely popular and also a good actor. Hanuman is not an easy character to portray. So considering everything, Sid is a good choice for the role.”
