Ranbir Kapoor on portraying Lord Rama
Meanwhile, in Ramayana's behind-the-scenes video, Ranbir opened up about playing Lord Rama. The actor said, "Lord Rama's biggest strength is not his bow; it is his Kshama (forgiving nature) - his ability to forgive. Ye role nahi hai. It's not ki mujhe ek film offer hui hai aur role exciting hai. Ye ek zimmedaari hai. Everything comes down to the belief and simplicity of the individual playing Lord Rama."
He added that every day he reminded himself that his job was not to be worthy of this roe. Instead, he felt it was his job to be worthy of the faith that people place in this story. Talking about Ranbir, the actor plays dual roles in the movie. Apart from potraying Lord Rama, he is seen as Bhagwan Parshuram in the movie. Did you enjoy watching the movie?
