Ranbir Kapoor on playing both Lord Ram and Parashuram in Ramayana: “It was fantastic”
While Ranbir Kapoor is primarily expected to play the character of Lord Ram, reports suggest that he will also be seen in a brief but important role as Lord Parashuram. The actor talked about the mythological connection between the two characters, both of whom are considered incarnations of Lord Vishnu.
“Lord Vishnu had various incarnations. Lord Rama was an incarnation, and Lord Parashurama was an incarnation before Lord Rama.” Sharing his excitement about getting the opportunity to play both the roles, Ranbir highlighted how rare and creatively gratifying this experience has been for him as an actor. “Just to get the opportunity, you know, how I got the chance to play Lord Ram, to play Lord Parashuram was also fantastic. I think as an actor, apart from the body language, I think if you deeply understand the spirituality and emotionality of the characters, I think everything starts from there. I think that’s what I did the year before shooting Ramayan, to understand who these people and characters are, what they want and their What are the objectives.”
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana It is being set on a large scale and is widely considered to be one of the most ambitious adaptations of the ancient Indian epic. The film aims to bring the timeless story of Lord Ram – his journey, ideals and fight against evil – to a global audience with state-of-the-art visuals and a massive cast.
The inclusion of Parashurama, a former incarnation of Vishnu, known for his fierce nature and warrior spirit, adds an additional mythological layer to the narrative. Although it is expected that he will appear briefly, the character holds symbolic importance within the larger context of the epic.
Ranbir Kapoor’s preparation for the role reportedly included extensive physical training as well as delving deeper into the philosophical and emotional underpinnings of the characters. His emphasis on understanding spirituality reflects the film’s attempt to move beyond spectacle and present a more nuanced portrayal of these revered figures.
As excitement about the project grows, Ramayana It continues to be one of the most watched films of all time, with audiences eager to see how this iconic story is re-imagined for the big screen.
