Ravi Kishan, the king‑pin of Bihar’s film scene, finally pulled off the most sacred of roles—Lord Ram—on the grand stage of Delhi’s Ramleela. The Tuesday night, under the floodlights of the Jawahar Vihar, he appeared in a crimson dhoti, bow and arrow poised, and the crowd erupted, turning the theatre into a sea of saffron.
"It’s not his first time with the epic. Four years ago, on a Navratri special of Swarna Swar Bharat, he had already taken centre stage as Sita, a performance that earned him cheers from the same crowd that now cheered him as Ram. He’s been juggling roles—from the goon in Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Bullet Raja to his meme‑fuelled one‑liners—so this leap feels like a natural pivot.
"The actor himself wrote, \"By the grace of Lord Shri Ram, the Ram Lila of Ayodhya was staged in Ram Lila (Delhi).\" His words, shared on Twitter, sparked a flood of replies and a viral meme chain that saw him as a divine icon. Fans noted that his portrayal was both ‘grounded’ and ‘charged’, a blend that resonates with contemporary sensibilities.
"Industry insiders say that the move could signal a new trend where movie stars cross into live mythic performances, blurring the line between cinema and traditional theatre. For a Gen‑Z audience that worships his punchy dialogues, seeing him embody Ram offers a fresh narrative that bridges screens and street.
"Verdict: Ravi Kishan’s Ramleela debut is a bold, unexpected chapter in his career, proving that the stage can be as compelling as the silver screen.
