Being an actor, and a villain for various movies, I've played all parts of Ravana's persona already. But as familiar as all these parts of it may seem, playing Ravana is a different ball game altogether.
When we burn the Ravana, we are symbolically destroying the evil in our society. We need to remember this after the Ramleela is over.
