Ranbir Kapoor, sitting across from Amitabh Bachchan on KBC, didn’t sugar‑coat his nerves—he was literally shaking when the offer landed. The actor confessed that the weight of millions of believers sat on his shoulders, and the first instinct that popped up was a gut‑shaking dread that he might not live up to the legend.
But that raw fear didn’t stay a fear; it morphed into a fierce gratitude. He says the moment he realized the responsibility was a blessing, a chance to study the epic, and a platform to become a better human—especially now that he’s a new dad.
Speaking about timing, Ranbir noted that the call came just as his own little one was around the corner. The idea of stepping into a character that epitomises duty and virtue felt oddly fitting for a parent starting a new chapter.
Behind the scenes, director Nitesh Tiwari is pulling the strings on this massive canvas. With Sai Pallavi as Sita Maa, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, Yash as Ravana, and Sunny Deol as Hanuman, the star‑studded cast is a power‑house. The score? A wild collaboration between Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman, promising a soundtrack that could rival the visual spectacle.
Set for a 5 November 2026 release, Ramayana is poised to be the cinematic milestone of the year. Fans will be watching to see how the film balances reverence with modern storytelling, and whether Ranbir’s portrayal of Lord Ram can live up to the legacy that’s been built around him.
