Kunal and Jimmy for Mahyoddha Ram 
By Bollywood Hungama News Network, March 26, 2008 - 14:02 IST
Kunal Kapoor and Jimmy Sheirgill have lent their voices to the characters of Ram and Laxman respectively in Rohit Vaid's Mahayoddha Ram under Contiloe Pictures. Mahayoddha Ram which apparently is Vaid's directorial debut, is a VFX driven 3-D animation film. In addition to Jimmy and Kunal, Gulshan Grover and Sameera Reddy have also given their voices for Ravana and Sita's characters.
Throwing some light on the story of the film, Vaid informs, "Mahayoddha Ram cuts out the extraneous of Ramayan by highlighting the very fight between Ram and Ravana over Sita. Ram versus Ravana in contemporary times is what Mahayoddha Ram is in totality." Interestingly, there will be ten different voices for all the ten heads of Ravana in the film. Vaid further adds, "The film is full of special effects with trees destroying themselves and Brahma disappearing. However, my two favorite scenes which need to be mentioned here are first, the aggressively shot construction of the bridge while crossing Lanka and the war scene where Inderjeet (Ravana's son) takes on Ram and Laxman."
Jimmy Sheirgill in all praises for the director Rohit Vaid says, "Rohit is a very intelligent director. I was so amazed to witness the kind of preparations he had done before signing me for Laxman's voice."
Aadesh Shrivastav has composed the background score for the film. Ashok Banker has written the screenplay and Javed Akhtar has penned down the lyrics. The film is expected to release by the end of the year in December.
