Oh wow, so this was supposed to be the original cast of RK?😆.....man, I'm glad they changed it.....all the faces in this look so cliched. Older RK bhi far better cast kiye baad mein with Shivya-Himanshu as compared to the typical vanilla ones in this version. They used that SP waali Sita as Radha in this.....lol
Sumedh ka look bhi cliched Krishna hai ismein....I prefer the look they ultimately settled on...is look mein it seems like they gave him a wig with long curls😆....but his current look has his own natural curly hair with the turban.....and Malika again feels like she was meant for the part of teen Radha....her face has the right balance of innocence and serenity without looking like she's trying too hard.....the actress they've shown here looks like a cliched TV face. Even Radha's look I guess went through a big transformation cuz here she just looks like a generic princess....lol they really evolved it later on with the whole flower jewelery look and her distinct ghagra cholis.

Waise I find it fascinating how much a show can evolve as it waits to launch....like it seems this one went through many big changes before it went on the floors.....this is what the final launch promo looked like with far better VFX and direction😆. But they did seem to have the songs finalized kaafi pehle se since both the promos have the same songs/music.

This also makes me think of IB and how it somehow managed to find the right mix of destiny before launching....lol or it would be a whole other show. Aise toh so many of these fantasy/mytho shows get launched but most of them are too generic in approach to stand out.....RK stood out cuz they managed to get the casting and feel right.....they didn't dwell on making them generic prince-princess but focused on the spirituality of the bond and story.
the first looks like tiktok version of some hollywood film while the 2nd one is BLOCKBUter. jsut the entire feel of it and quality of it is lifted so much Man wowww this was amazing to watch just the contrast between the 2 th eidea and how one can improve it for the betterment . meanwhile aajkal ulta ho raha hai mostly. i still get goosebumps with the 2nd one and i don't even watch the show but that has such a binding quality to it woh first tune and visual captivates you almost hyponotizes you to watch it till the end
