Actor Nitish Sharma called the opportunity to play Shatrughan, the youngest son of King Dasharatha, in director Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana' a divine blessing. Recalling the moment he received the news that he had bagged the role, Nitish shared that it felt to him as if it was 'fate'.

Explaining the reason, he shared, "The call came during one of the most difficult phases of my life. Professionally, I had just gone through a major disappointment, and I was trying to find peace by reading the Ramcharitmanas. It was during that very moment that I received the call for Ramayan. Honestly, it felt like a divine blessing and a reminder that Lord Ram always has a bigger plan for us." Nitish further said that the responsibility of playing such a character is not something one can take lightly.
