Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor has revealed how working on the upcoming film Ramayana deeply impacted him personally and emotionally. The actor, who will essay the role of Lord Rama, said the project not only changed his perspective on life but also helped him become a better father to his daughter, Raha Kapoor.
Ranbir Kapoor admitted that he initially had doubts about taking on the iconic role of Lord Rama, but over time, that fear turned into gratitude and love for the project. He said, “I understood not that it would be something like a career-defining move for me, but it was definitely life-defining, you know, it changed my life."
The actor further spoke about how becoming a father and working on Ramayana happened simultaneously in his life, making the experience even more meaningful for him. He added, “It was such a sweet coincidence in my life. Raha made me a better person and Ramayana wanted me to be a better person for Raha, so everything was connected."
Ramayana is directed by Nitesh Tiwari and backed by Yash and producer Namit Malhotra. The film stars Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Ravie Dubey as Lakshman and Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman. The film is being made on a budget of ₹4000 crore and is planned as a two-part epic, with the first instalment scheduled to release during Diwali 2026, followed by the second part on Diwali 2027.
