Versatile Actor Dalip Tahil Marks His Debut In A Mythological
Serial; Plays Raja Dashrath In ‘Siya Ke Ram’
Mumbai: Versatile actor Dalip Tahil has marked his debut in a
mythological serial by playing Raja Dashrath in the magnum opus “Siya Ke Ram”. The
historical television drama will chronicle the journey of Ram and Sita as seen
from the eyes of the latter, unlike the other version that has portrayed the
journey only from Ram’s perspective. The series will also highlight the significance
of the three queens of Raja Dashrath and their eventual roles in Lord Ram going
into exile for 14 years.
“To play the part of Raja Dashrath
and being part of the team of ‘Siya Ke Ram’ has been an absolute
privilege. The
mythic series, based on Ramayana is way different than the previous version we
may have seen on TV two decades ago. The series concentrates and showcases
Sita’s saga rather than Ram’s. Not just Sita but also my three wives’ roles,
especially Sumitra’s, have been accentuated and will come as a surprise to the
audiences,” says Dalip Tahil.
Siya Ke
Ram will be aired at 8pm, 16 November onwards.
“This is perhaps one of the few
costume dramas that I have enjoyed thoroughly. Many new characters have been
introduced in the show and the mythology which has been a rough diamond has
been buffed and polished to perfection. I am positive that audiences will enjoy
watching the series and am as much hopeful that they will appreciate my role in
it,” concludes Mr. Tahil.
