How much did Dara Singh charge for portraying Lord Hanuman?
Ramanand Sagar’s ‘Ramayan’ started on 25 January 1987. It ran till 31 July 1988. When the show came on TV, people would stand with their hands folded. This is the Ramayan, whose many characters were worshipped by people like God, but Dara Singh, who played Hanuman in the show, did not want to do this role initially. Ramanand Sagar made a professional wrestler play Hanuman in ‘Ramayana’.
When Dara Singh got this role, he was 62 years old, so he refused Ramanand Sagar and said that a young man should be found for this role. But according to his stature, he was persuaded with great difficulty. The way he played this role, no amount of praise is enough for it. According to reports, Dara Singh got a fee of 35 lakh rupees for ‘Ramayan.’
