When asked if Ranbir and the upcoming Ramayan trilogy will be able to match up to his iconic Doordarshan show, Arun Govil said, “Woh ho sakta hai ya nahi ho sakta hai woh toh samay batayega. Pehle se kuch nahi kaha ja sakta kisi ke baare main (Only time can tell if that will happen or not, can’t say anything in advance about it). But, as far as Ranbir is concerned, he is a good actor. He is an award-winning actor.”

“Jitna jaanta hoon main unko, bahut mehnat se kaam karte hain wo, bahut sanskari bache hain woh. Unke andar morals, sanskar, sanskriti hai. Maine dekha hai kayi baar unko (Whatever I know of him, Ranbir works very hard, and he is a very cultured kid. He has got good moral and cultural values. I’ve noticed it several times). I’m very sure that he will try to do his level best.”
