Ranbir Kapoor Breaks Silence on Ramayana Shooting Secret, Massive Run-time, and Part 2 Update Out

The wait is finally over for fans of Indian cinema's most ambitious project! Ranbir Kapoor, who is set to portray Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari's magnum opus 'Ramayana', has finally opened up about his journey. From the intense physical transformation to the epic scale of the film, the actor shared insights that have sent the internet into a frenzy.

Inside the World of Ayodhya: Ranbir’s Transformation

Ranbir Kapoor revealed that filming 'Ramayana' has been a "spiritually cleansing" experience. Unlike typical commercial movies, the actor had to undergo a strict lifestyle change—giving up meat and alcohol to stay true to the character's sanctity.

"It's not just a film; it's a responsibility. The shooting process is unlike anything I've ever experienced in my 17-year career," Ranbir shared in a recent interaction.

The Epic Run-time and Visual Grandeur

Sources suggest that the first part of 'Ramayana' focuses on the early life of Lord Ram and the Sita Haran. Addressing the rumors about its length, it is reported that the film will have a massive run-time to ensure no detail from the sacred epic is missed. The use of high-end VFX and practical sets has turned this into one of the most expensive Indian films ever made.

Major Update on 'Ramayana: Part 2'

One of the biggest takeaways from Ranbir's recent update is the status of the sequel. The actor confirmed that the vision is for a trilogy. While Part 1 is nearing completion of its principal photography, the planning for Part 2—which will focus on the war in Lanka—is already in full swing. This ensures that the gap between the two films won't be too long for the audience.

Stellar Cast: Who Plays Who?

The film boasts a legendary lineup, with Sai Pallavi playing Goddess Sita and Yash (of KGF fame) stepping into the shoes of the mighty Raavan. The chemistry between the cast and the director’s vision aims to set a new global benchmark for Indian storytelling.
