The versatile superstar, Ranbir Kapoor, is ready to step into the divine shoes of Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari’s magnum opus Ramayana! With his unmatched acting chops and Tiwari’s visionary direction, this epic retelling promises to be the cinematic event of the decade. Ranbir has finally opened up about his role, and let’s just say, it’s as grand as we imagined.
ranbir Kapoor opens up about his upcoming film Ramayana
Talking to Deadline, Ranbir shared his excitement and gratitude for being a part of a project as monumental as Ramayana. He shared, “I am currently working on a film called Ramayan, which is India’s greatest story. It’s being produced by Namit Malhotra…It’s got artists, creators and different crew members from all around the world. The film is made over two parts. It’s the story of Lord Ram and Raavan and it’s India’s greatest story. And to say it to this new generation with the kind of technology that we have, it’s a very exciting and very gratifying opportunity for me as an actor, especially to play the part of Lord Ram.”
Ranbir described the opportunity as “humbling,.” He said said, “It is directed by Nitesh Tiwari. It has two parts. I have finished shooting of Part 1 and will shoot Part 2 soon. Just to be a part of that story, I am so humbled to essay Ram’s role. It’s a dream for me. It’s a film that has everything. It teaches what Indian culture is about — family dynamics and husband-wife dynamics. So I’m very excited about that.”

A Two-Part Saga of Epic Proportions
Ranbir spilled the tea on the film’s narrative, which will be told over two parts. Part 1, he revealed, introduces us to Lord Ram’s family in Ayodhya, his marriage to Sita, and their 14-year exile. The climax of the first part will focus on Sita’s kidnapping by the formidable Ravana.
With a jaw-dropping budget of ?835 crore, Ramayana is all set to be a visual spectacle. The movie will reportedly require 600 days of post-production. This movie is a magnum opus in the making.
Meet the Star-Studded Cast
If Ranbir as Lord Ram isn’t enough to excite you, wait till you hear about the rest of the cast. The ethereal Sai Pallavi will play Sita, while reports suggest KGF star Yash might take on the role of the menacing Ravana. Adding more star power, Sunny Deol is set to embody Hanuman, Lara Dutta will play Kaikeyi, and Sheeba Chaddha is rumored to step into the shoes of the cunning Manthara.
Why This Role Is a Game-Changer for Ranbir
Ranbir Kapoor isn’t just acting; he’s diving headfirst into a role that demands emotional depth, physical transformation, and a connection to India’s cultural roots.
For someone who has already wowed us as a carefree lover, a rockstar, and even a vengeful animal, playing Lord Ram is a bold and exciting new chapter.
