Ramanand Sagar's Unique Tactic: How Snakes Controlled Naughty Luv-Kush on Ramayan Set

• Ramanand Sagar faced challenges with mischievous child actors Swapnil Joshi (Kush) and Mayuresh Kshetramade (Luv) on the Ramayan set.
• The children, though charming on screen, often refused to shoot, causing production delays.
• Sagar initially staged a dramatic scene, pretending to thrash men, which scared the boys into cooperating temporarily.
• Later, he used real snakes, brought for a sequence, as a unique disciplinary tool.
• By playfully lifting the lid of the snake basket, Sagar would scare the boys into delivering their lines perfectly.

Why It Matters: Ramanand Sagar creatively used both staged drama and real snakes to manage the mischievous Luv-Kush on the Ramayan set.
