Ranbir Kapoor’s upcoming role as Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious project Ramayana has sparked a wave of speculation regarding the actor’s preparation. Recent reports suggest that Kapoor has made significant lifestyle changes, including quitting alcohol and embracing a vegetarian diet, in order to align himself more closely with the divine character he is set to portray.
Being Lord Ram is a role of great cultural and spiritual significance, and it is said that Kapoor has taken this onus very seriously. Although the actor hasn’t spoken publicly about making these changes, behind-the-scenes sources say that he has decided to live a more disciplined life in order to portray the dignity, chastity, and self-control of the mythic figure. His training has been said to extend beyond physical transformation, into mental and emotional conditioning, with intense script reading and research to get the character.
Director Nitesh Tiwari’s vision for Ramayana is expected to be grand in scale, with advanced visual effects and international collaborations to bring the epic tale to life on the big screen. Alongside Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi is reported to play Sita, while casting for other key characters has also generated considerable buzz.
The news of Kapoor’s commitment has been widely debated among audiences and film communities, with many regarding his lifestyle adjustments as a sign of respect for the character. While official word is still pending from the actor, the reports highlight the extent to which he is taking one of the toughest and most culturally prominent roles of his life seriously.
