Keen on delivering an authentic portrayal, Ranbir is pushing boundaries and committing to rigorous physical preparation for his character. Recent reports reveal that he has made a notable request to the production team – he prefers to eschew CGI enhancements for his appearance.

According to a sources, Ranbir specifically requested minimal use of VFX or CGI on his face and physique.

Aside from “Ramayana,” Ranbir’s cinematic plate is full with other projects. He is set to star in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s “Animal Park” and reunite with Sanjay Leela Bhansali after 16 years for “Love & War,” alongside Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal. The romantic drama is slated for release in 2025.
