Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana is easily one of the biggest films to come out of Indian cinema, but for actor Sheeba Chadha, the massive scale of the project never influenced her performance. The actor, who essays the pivotal role of Manthara in the mythological epic, says she approached the film like any other acting assignment, by focusing solely on understanding her character.
