Ronit Roy is looking very handsome, in an authoritative, domineering kind of manner! I love his expression...aloof, royal and cold! And his attire suits him to the T! He has the kind of physique to carry off such clothes and does it well!
The story of Bandini has been adapted from a popular Gujrathi book, called Ret Pankhi which sees a young girl being sold off in marriage to a very rich, much older man who has children his wife's age...how she wins over everyone's heart's including her unloving and uncaring husband's forms the crux of the serial!
Ronit's character in the serial is an extremely egoistic and cruel man who stops at nothing to get his way...it is quite different from most of the other work he has done, where even though he played powerful characters, he was always portrayed as a kind-hearted and soft person. I think Ronit will do full justice to the character and even if it has negative shades, will win over his audience!
Also, I think his character's name is Dharamraj and not Dharampratap. There was a short segment on SBS during the launch of Bandini where Ekta spoke at length about her new serial and said that it was a story very close to her heart! She was mainly talking about how the girl would come in Dharamraj's life and make him more humane. It mainly deals with two people discovering themselves after being thrown together by destiny.
She has got an excellent lead for the serial in Ronit and a strong storyline to boot, hope Ekta and Balaji Films do a good job of it. Am eagerly looking forward to watching Bandini.
