Ranbir Kapoor is gearing up for his role as Lord Rama in Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming film adaptation of Ramayana, alongside Sai Pallavi as Sita. The project has garnered immense anticipation from Bollywood enthusiasts eager for details about the ambitious venture.
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. The actor, known for his dedication to his craft, has been diligently working out to sculpt his physique for the role. However, unlike his muscular look in “Animal,” Kapoor aims for a leaner and more traditional portrayal as Lord Rama.
The journey to transform his body has been demanding, especially in shedding the weight gained for his previous project. Ranbir’s commitment to authenticity extends beyond physicality, as he immerses himself in the essence of the character.
Earlier speculations hinted at Yash, of “KGF 2” fame, portraying Ravana in the film. However, those rumors have been dispelled, with Yash opting to serve as a co-producer instead.
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.
As the excitement surrounding “Ramayana” builds, fans eagerly await further updates on the film’s development. Stay tuned to Filmiwave for the latest news and insights into these highly anticipated cinematic endeavours.
