‘Ravana-Jatayu’s battle, Ravana’s 10 heads’: Ranbir Kapoor, Yash pick Ramayana best scenes

Ranbir Kapoor recently revealed that his role as Lord Rama in the upcoming Ramayana film offers limited creative freedom. In an interview with the BBC Asian Network, Kapoor discussed the challenges of portraying a god on screen, stating that the actor must adhere strictly to the ancient text's content. The actor confessed that he struggled with fear and self-doubt, admitting, "I was filled with fear."

Kapoor also highlighted the importance of making mythological characters relatable by incorporating vulnerability and genuine emotions. Sai Pallavi, who plays the role of Sita, shared that her spiritual background influenced her approach to the character, emphasizing the role of surrendering to the character's essence. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, Ramayana: Part One features a star-studded cast, including Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman.

The film, slated for release on November 5, is a visually ambitious adaptation of the ancient Indian epic, with Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman contributing to its musical score.
