Ranbir Kapoor’s Remarkable Transformation Celebrated by Co-Star

Ranbir Kapoor has undergone a significant transformation for his role in the upcoming mythological epic, Ramayana, according to his co-star Indira Krishnan. In a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, Krishnan praised Kapoor’s dedication and versatility as an actor, noting the stark contrast between his portrayal of a fierce character in Animal and his upcoming role as Lord Ram.

Kapoor’s commitment to embodying the character has been remarkable. Krishnan explained that he invested considerable effort in his physical preparation, stating, “Ranbir has worked, not only on his physicality but even his eyes speak a different language.” She emphasized that Kapoor’s portrayal required not only a strong physical presence but also an emotional depth that resonates with the character of Lord Ram.

Intensive Training and Dedication

To prepare for his role, Kapoor dedicated himself to rigorous workouts, often training for between three to four hours daily. “He was always punctual on the set. After pack-up, he would get back to working out. His dedication was 200 percent,” Krishnan recalled. This level of commitment is particularly evident in the way he carries himself in scenes, with Krishnan noting the importance of body language in portraying such a revered figure.

The first day of shooting for Ramayana left a lasting impression on Krishnan. She described the sandalwood ceremony scene, where Kapoor’s interpretation of Lord Ram was vivid. “The way he sat down, he sat like how one imagines Lord Rama to sit,” she remarked. The authenticity of his performance, including the positioning of his upper body and facial expressions, showcased his ability to fully immerse himself in the character.

Anticipation for the Film’s Release

Fans are eagerly looking forward to seeing Kapoor as Lord Ram on the big screen. The film, which also features esteemed actors such as Amitabh Bachchan, Yash, Sai Pallavi, and Sunny Deol, is set to be released during the Diwali festival in 2024. Krishnan highlighted that the contrast between the rowdy character in Animal and the divine nature of Lord Ram illustrates Kapoor’s range as an actor.

With such a high-profile cast and the anticipation surrounding the film, expectations are soaring. The audience’s excitement reflects not only their admiration for Kapoor’s talent but also the cultural significance of the Ramayana story. As the release date approaches, Kapoor’s transformation and dedication to his role continue to generate buzz in the film industry.
