That's also true Gunia, that makeup was not necessary at all because the Gods never aged.😊 I read somewhere that Ramji never looked above 25 years old even in Uttarkand, after ruling for 11,000 years. Even Ravan and Mandodari were blessed with eternal youth, so it's not at all necessary to see Ram, Sita, and Lakshman aging.
Regardless of the makeup people have accepted Arunji, so it's not an issue at all, but it's fun talking about these things because I feel that in every show, there is room for improvement. Something could have been done a bit better and the makeup on Arunji is one thing that could have been done better in RSR.😊
It's just that in the older generation, for some reason people preferred much older actors to do these roles. For example, NTR was very famous as Ram and Krishna in the South, and I find that a bit odd when watching the old mythological movies, because they were 30-40 years old during those movies and looked quite old, lol. There was this one actor who was in his 20s who played Rama. He was very good and very handsome, but he never got accepted because I heard NTR played a lot of politics and did not let him grow in the industry.🤔 Perhaps that's another reason I never liked NTR. His real-life personality was sooo opposite that of Ramji and Krishnaji's. He was not a good guy in real life.
