Almost 34 years since their last offering Luv Kush, Arun Govil and Dipika Chikhlia of Ramayan fame reunite to lead the upcoming movie, Notice

Arun Govil with Dipika Chikhlia Topiwala
Between 1987 and 1988, Sunday mornings across India were all about families gathering in front of the television to watch the latest episode of Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan. So popular was the on-screen pairing of Arun Govil and Dipika Chikhlia Topiwala as Lord Ram and Sita that the two followed it up with the show, Luv Kush that ran till 1989. Almost 34 years later, the actors have reunited for director Pradeep Gupta’s film, Notice. The project went on floors yesterday at Madh Island, where a large set of a village has been built.
Producer Aditya Pratap Singh Raghuvanshi views Notice as a modern-day interpretation of the Ramayana. Since Govil and Chikhlia’s public image has been dominated by the mythological offering, he felt they were the perfect choice to lead the movie. “It is the story of a vulnerable man who fights for the truth, and his victory against the corrupt administration. Many stories evolve from the Ramayana and Mahabharat. Notice is a modern-day story [with roots in] the Ramayana. The film is so-titled as it depicts that whenever you get a notice, it brings some problem with it,” says Raghuvanshi.
