However, he was not selected for this role initially. The person who was supposed to play the role of Samudra Dev did not come that day. After waiting for a long time, the cameraman advised Ramanand Sagar to cast an actor and Aslam Khan was cast.

Vijay Kavish was the one who got Aslam introduced in Ramayan. He played the role of Shiva and Valmiki in this show. On seeing Aslam, Ramanand Sagar chose him for the role of Sadhu and then gradually he kept getting many different roles.

Apart from Ramayan, the actor has also worked with Sagar in the serial Shri Krishna. In this show, his acting in the scene where he tells the truth to Karna was so tremendous that Ramanand Sagar cried after seeing it.
