Ranbir Kapoor Reveals His Philosophy on Portraying Lord Rama in Ramayana

Ranbir Kapoor has shared a 5-minute video chronicling his transformation into Lord Rama, the lead actor of the upcoming film Ramayana. The video features producer Namit Malhotra, director Nitesh Tiwari, and actors Ravie Dubey, Arun Govil, and Sai Pallavi talking about Ranbir's preparation for the role.

Ranbir talks about playing Lord Rama, saying he sees the role as a responsibility rather than just another film role. Noting that Lord Rama's biggest strength is not his bow, but his Kshama (forgiving nature) - his ability to forgive, he says. This perspective is in line with the values of the Ramayana.

An epic that has been a cornerstone of Indian culture for centuries.
