At the event, the trio also sat down for a Q and A, where they answered questions about their upcoming film, their characters and more. Speaking during the launch, Kapoor described Lord Rama not just as a mythological character, not just as a 'conscious keeper', but also introduced the western audience to the term 'Maryada Purushottam,' meaning the ideal man.

He stands for compassion, for courage, for righteousness and forgiveness. He is called Maryada Purushottam, which stands for an ideal man."
