Talking about his role in the TV series, Naman said, “It is an honour to play Ramdev's childhood in his biopic series. Playing the role of Ramkishan (young Ramdev) is quite challenging as he was born with partial facial paralysis. I am trying to put my best foot forward with an aim to impress not only the viewers, but the man himself too. Hope, I do justice to Ramdev's role.”

Naman has previously appeared in films like Chillar Party, Jai Ho and Raanjhanaa.

Swami Ramdev: Ek Sangharsh, which will be aired on soon to be launched channel Discovery JEET, will trace Ramdev's inspirational journey from a life of anonymity to a renowned yoga guru and business mogul.
