What is the story about?
While playing the role of Lord Rama, Ranbir Kapoor managed to completely immerse himself in the film while also managing to devote time for his daughter,
Raha Kapoor. Ranbir's partner, wife Alia Bhatt, shared some behind-the-scenes images of Raha on set with her father as Lord Rama and wrote a sweet note praising his dedication both as an actor and a father. The Indian film Ramayana Part 1, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, has released in theatres worldwide a day before Raha's birthday. The little one will be turning four on November 6, 2026.
Alia Bhatt's note for Ranbir Kapoor on release of Ramayana
As a proud wife, Alia Bhatt took to Instagram on November 5, the release date of Ramayana Part 1, with never-before-seen pictures of daughter Raha visiting her father, Ranbir, on the sets of the film. In the pics, little Raha is wearing white and blue overalls as she watches her father in action as Lord Rama. Ranbir kisses Raha's cheek in one photo, while Raha clings to Ranbir's leg on the sets of Ramayana. Alia wrote in her post, "You poured everything into this one and somehow still had all of it left for her."
Alia added that she was so proud of Ranbir and every single person who brought their heart and soul to this incredible experience at the movies. She stated that some stories are bigger than all of us, and "Ramayana is one of them." Ranbir has a dual role of Lord Rama and Parashurama in the first part of the epic saga. He will reprise his role in the sequel, which is due to release in theatres on Diwali 2028.
Ramayana Part 1 also features Sai Pallavi as Sita, Lord Rama's wife; Ravie Dubey as Lakshman, his younger brother; and Yash as Ravana, the king of Lanka. Produced by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios and Yash's Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana is now playing worldwide in Hindi, English and several other languages.
