Accent of Karthik Jayaram who plays Raawan is not upto mark!

He is depicting perfect Ravan! True that his hindi pronunciation is with the southern touch! But as Ravan belongs to Lanka "Lankapati" it does not matter! He will improve day by day.

ya even though his voice is amazing his accent is a bit south...and slowly it will b fine but was he supposed to have an accent as he is from Lanka?

Hey Guys,

The actor, Karthik Jayaram who plays Raawan in Siya Ke Ram does not pronounce some Hindi words well. His accent is not upto the mark.

May be its because he belongs to Kannada industry and does not know how to speak Hindi language well.

Anyway, otherwise his work is decent.

I hv seen his iv on sbs...really he's trying hard on hindi language

Yup his accent and diction is not upto the mark.. his acting is otherwise good but he really needs to work on his diction.
Raavan was a scholar and extremely well versed with sankrit and the veda's. I dont think he had an accent as at the time there was no such thing as variations and accents everyone mostly must have spokem sanskit.

True sanskrit was the spoken language among the elite those days. Ravan was a scholar so there shouldn't be a bad accent etc. The actor will have to improve his diction.

Back in the vedic times, there was no such thing as "North Indian accent" and "South Indian accent". In fact, the North vs. South did not exist. Everyone spoke in Sanskrit.

Arre... his pronunciation adding an authentic touch since Lanka is in South :)
