The actor simply refused to say something about, or promote Zee TV's show, Ravan.

According to a source from the production house, "Anil Kapoor came as a guest and mingled with the crew members. But, at the end when he was supposed to say 'Watch me on Zee Cinestars right after Ravan', he refused to say the lines. His stand was that he would say anything on Lord Ram, but not on Ravan. Ultimately, they had to settle for a line which made no reference to Ravan."

Sanjeev Sharma, executive chairman of Optimystix Television Company laughs, "I guess since Anil has acted in Ram Lakhan, he did not want to say anything on Ravan. Another possibility is that Lord Ram may be much more important than Ravan to him."

Sanjeev adds, "I have known Anil for so many years and I know that he is very strong-headed and focussed guy. He will not do anything that he is not convinced about. I guess he was not convinced to speak about Ravan."

Anil Kapoor was unavailable for comment.
