Ranbir to turn pious for Ramayan. Ranbir Kapoor is poised to portray the role of Lord Ram in Nitish Tiwari's upcoming project, "Ramayan." While an official announcement from him is pending, recent reports suggest that he is making significant lifestyle changes, such as abstaining from meat and alcohol, to embody the purity associated with Lord Ram's character in the film. Furthermore, it's been hinted that the entire cast is undergoing a process of self-restraint.
According to sources, Ranbir Kapoor's decision to abstain from alcohol and meat is not merely for maintaining a public image but rather to fully immerse himself in the portrayal of Lord Ram. A dedicated actor, Ranbir is committed to feeling as pure and virtuous as Sri Rama for this role. His dedication extends beyond public perception, and it aligns with his sincere approach to acting. Additionally, Ranbir is known for not indulging in late-night partying and wild celebrations.
The film's production is slated to commence early next year. Ranbir Kapoor and South Indian actress Sai Pallavi are expected to begin shooting around February 2024. The initial installment of the trilogy will primarily focus on the characters of Lord Ram and Sita, building up to the pivotal Sita Haran episode. The filming for this part of the epic saga is anticipated to continue from February to August 2024, culminating in the completion of "Ramayana: Part One." It has also been reported that the film will incorporate advanced visual effects, prepared by the Oscar-winning company, DNEG.
