Ranbir Kapoor calls playing Lord Rama a responsibility

Ranbir Kapoor has previously spoken about the responsibility of portraying Lord Rama on screen.

The actor explained that Rama’s greatest strength is not merely his bow but his capacity for forgiveness, referring to the quality of kshama. He also described the part as a responsibility rather than simply another acting opportunity.

The role marks a significant undertaking for Kapoor, who will portray one of the most revered figures in Indian mythology in a large-scale cinematic adaptation intended for audiences worldwide.

With Yash playing Ravana and Sai Pallavi portraying Sita, the film brings together a prominent ensemble to tell the story of Rama, his exile, Sita’s abduction and the conflict that follows. (Variety India)
