Let us share this monkey baat with you. Now if we talk of lord Hanuman, doesn't the first image that pops up in your head is that of a pehlwan? We made a short trip to Jasaram Akhada and met our prospective Hanumans. And there they were, in all their towering, chest-thumping, dhobi-pachad glory – dirt, sweat and loincloths.
This Dussehra, The Quint decided to put together its own ensemble Ramleela cast. And as every good production does, we held auditions before casting for the roles of Raavan, Sita, Hanuman, Jatayu and the Vaanar Sena (The Monkey Army). The tapes are for your eyes only.
