One of the most anticipated films of the year, Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and a glimpse of his look was first unveiled to a select audience at a grand event in Los Angeles.
Talking to Collider at the LA event, Ranbir confirmed that he is playing a double role in Ramayana and said, “Lord Vishnu had different avatars. Lord Rama was an avatar, and Lord Parshurama was an avatar before Lord Rama. Just to get the opportunity, you know, how I got to play Lord Rama, to also play Lord Parshurama was fantastic.”
He further explained how he prepared for both roles and said, “I think as an actor, apart from body language, I think if you deeply understand the spirituality and the emotionality of the characters, I think everything starts from there. I think that’s what I did the year leading up to the shoot of Ramayana, to understand who these people and characters are, what they stand for and what their motives are.”
Fans expressed excitement about Ranbir’s double role. The film, helmed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, also stars Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravie Dubey as Lakshman and Sunny Deol as Hanuman.
