Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana Transformation Was More Than Physical; Celebrity Trainer Reveals How Actor Prepared To Play Lord Ram

Ranbir Kapoor is set to portray Lord Ram in Ramayana Part 1, an ambitious role that will debut in theatres ahead of Diwali 2026. Celebrity trainer Shivohaam has shed light on the actor's preparation for the character, revealing that it involved more than just physical transformation. In an interview with Pankaj Sharma on his YouTube channel, Shivohaam explained that Ranbir's preparation encompassed various aspects, including posture, breathing, yoga, and an in-depth understanding of the character.

According to the trainer, it's essential for actors playing revered figures like Lord Ram to become the character themselves to bring the same calmness to their face. Shivohaam added that Ranbir had the support of several people who helped him grasp the character at a deeper level, which included working on breathing exercises, yoga, and studying scriptures to understand Lord Ram's backstory.

The trainer emphasized that the combination of physical, body language, and mindset transformation played a crucial role in the actor's rapid and effective preparation for the role. Ramayana, produced by Namit Malhotra, is a two-part cinematic spectacle featuring a star-studded cast, including Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman.
