From paanwale to wrestler, Ramanand Sagar changed his fortunes, 'Ramayana' became a star overnight

Still, whatever character was given to those people, they played it with great intensity. Let us tell you that Ramanand Sagar had cast the wrestler to play the role of Sugriva and Bali in Ramayana. At the same time, he made a woman living in Surat, Gujarat, Trijata.

Ramanand Sagar casts non-actors to make a star

The Sushen Vaidya who ordered the Sanjeevani herb for Laxman in Ramayana was not an actor. In fact, he used to run a paan shop. His name was Ramesh Chaurasia. He used to have a small paan shop near the Dewasgech bus stand in Ujjain.

In such a situation, Ramanand Sagar auditioned him and finalized him for the role of Trijata. A man working in Ramanand Sagar's production unit played 11 roles in Ramayana. He was also not an actor. His name was Aslam Khan.

The makers had to roll a lot of money for the casting of this character. Because, there was a need for an artist who could match Dara Singh. Such a person was discovered in many akhadas.

Then one day when the shooting was going on in the forest, a broad-bodied man came wearing the costume of Sugriva and Bali's character and said that he wanted to do that role. His name was Shyam Sundar Kalani, who belonged to Indore.His language was very rough, so his dialogue was dubbed in the serial.
