Ravan, not a villain?
The highpoint of Dassera is the burning of Ravan's effigy to mark the end of evil. But Akhilendra Mishra, who plays Ravan in NDTV Imagine's Ramayan doesn't think Ravan was a villian. According to him, "Ravan has his point of view and I believe it isn't completely wrong. We have a mindset that in a story there has to be a hero and a villain, so have typically labelled Ravan as one. Ravan belonged to the demon race, so we have to add negative elements to the look of his character." To keep up with the character, Mishra has tried to keep his eyes wide open to portray evil. "The attire too was kept in mind with demonic loudness," says the reel Ravan. The actor, we must say, is completely in sync with the character!

Now, the producer is taking the concept to another channel 9X with a different presenter. Called Sambhav Kya? the show tries to unravel the mystery behind supernatural forces based on folklore and legend. Through a series of stories narrated by Iqbal Khan the show promises to present some spine-chilling moments. Says Kak, "The show has thriller elements, which are based on real incidents and which will prove the adage: "Truth can be stranger than fiction". What adds to the show's dramatic appeal is the suspense elements that Iqbal builds throughout. He brings a special intensity to his presentation and when this intensity combines with the intrigue, it takes the show to an entirely different plane altogether." The show starts airing from October 10, Friday-Saturday at 10 pm.
