TV hunk Gurmeet Choudhary rose to celebrity with his role as
Lord Ram in 2008's hit show Ramayan. The actor became a house name
thereafter and also went on to do shows like Geet, Punnar Vivah and
many more.
Now, as per a close source, Gurmeet will again be essaying
Lord Ram. No, it's not for a show, but he will be a part of a play in London. Chatting
about it, a source disclosed, "The producers of the play needed an Indian
actor, and they had heard that Gurmeet had played Ram in a TV show that was a
huge hit. With his fame in mind, they approached him to act as Ram in their
play. Gurmeet loved the concept and will be doing the role."
Gurmeet verified the news and is thrilled to be part of the
project as he will not only play Lord Ram, but also a contemporary version of
him. He revealed, "Playing Lord Ram is a once in a lifetime opportunity
and, thankfully, people were convinced with my interpretation of the divine
character all those years ago. The character got me a lot of respect and has
also taught me humility. Today, whatever I’ve achieved is because of this
character. I believe Ram chose me in 2008 to express himself. Ram is a hero and
it was a big challenge for me back then."
Gurmeet will start preparing for the show in London next
month. Furthermore, he will be juggling between UK and Mumbai to complete his promises
here. Not tensed about it, the actor further added, "An actor's job is to
maintain the balance between the projects they decide to take up. Right now,
I’m busy with my forthcoming film, and there are several other offers. I
prioritise my work and find time for both my work and my family."
