Ranbir Kapoor, who stars as Lord Rama in the upcoming film 'Ramayana', spoke candidly about his experience at the San Diego Comic-Con, where the film's team including Yash, director Nitesh Tiwari, and producer Namit Malhotra joined him to promote the mythological epic. This marks a bold new chapter for Kapoor, whose recent projects have showcased his versatility in Indian cinema.
Discussing the pivotal role, Ranbir admitted to grappling with self-doubt when first approached. He shared, “I remember when the film was first offered to me, there was so much fear, so much doubt. ‘Will I be able to do this? Am I capable enough?’ But I think that doubt changed into gratitude very early on. I think it was a blessing, an opportunity of a lifetime, and a moral responsibility.”
The actor reflected on the significance of the story, saying, “Ramayana is ingrained in our subconscious. Lord Rama is the conscience keeper of millions of people around the world across generations, for more than 4,000 years. He is somebody who embodies the triumph of the human spirit in times of adversity.”
The team’s presence at a global event like Comic-Con highlights the international interest in this adaptation, underlining the cultural resonance and scale of the project.
