Actor Rohit Roy is all set to portray Dr BR Ambedkar in his next project. He will headline a Broadway style musical drama which will highlight the life and exploits of Babasaheb. The show will be hosted from 25th of February to 12th of March at JLN Stadium, Mumbai.

Talking about how this role was different from whatever he has done in films and television, Rohit told PTI, “I have done all genres and all mediums, from TV to theatre to films to OTT platforms. But, when I was preparing for this role, one thing that really helped me was the similarity that I feel between his life and my life, which is that we both had to struggle."

The actor further talked about Ambedkar and how he was destined to play this role. He said, "He (Ambedkar), despite his academic achievements and calibre, till the end of his life kept struggling to tell society that all humans must be equal. I also have struggled in my career, had no godfather in the industry and kept working to move ahead. So, I feel I was, in a way, destined to play his role."
