Adding on, Mr. Anupam Kher who plays Dasharath said, "From theater to silver screen, from comedy to action, I have experienced all shades of acting and entertaining my audiences. Still, being a part of Fever Radio Ramayan has been very exciting for me. Packaging and presenting Ramayan the way Fever 104 FM has is truly commendable. With the fast pace of today's life, the new generation needs a convenient way of reconnecting to their roots. I wish Fever 104 FM all the very best and thank them for their efforts".
