The upcoming cinematic retelling of the Ramayana is already making waves across the country, but for lead actor Ranbir Kapoor, the project has become a deeply personal journey shared with his daughter, Raha. As the buzz intensifies around Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious two-part saga, Ranbir revealed that his role as Lord Ram has transcended the film set, finding its way into the daily conversations he has with his three-and-a-half-year-old.
The actor described it as a blessing to portray such an iconic figure at this stage of his life, noting how he returns home from the shoot to narrate the day’s work to a captivated little listener.
Raha’s fascination with the epic has been a source of joy for the actor, who shared how she eagerly asks him about his day, wondering if he filmed with Hanuman or Sita. This curiosity, Ranbir believes, is a testament to how deeply the Ramayana is embedded in the Indian subconscious, suggesting that the stories are almost part of our DNA.
He noted that seeing a child so young engage with these ancient characters naturally proves that the love for this culture is instinctive and enduring, passed down through generations like a shared heritage.
While the film’s teaser, released on Hanuman Jayanti, sparked a whirlwind of reactions online, the actor remains focused on the larger vision of the project. While some viewers offered mixed feedback on the first look, many fans took to social media to call it “peak cinema,” praising the visuals and the casting choices.
For Ranbir, the goal of this yojana is to take these timeless beliefs, which have stood for centuries, and present them to a global audience in a way that resonates across borders.
The magnum opus is currently scheduled to hit the big screen in two installments, with releases planned for 2026 and 2027. As the production moves forward, the actor finds himself balancing the weight of a massive mythological production with the simple, quiet moments of fatherhood.
By bringing the world of Lord Ram home to Raha, Ranbir is not just preparing for a blockbuster, but ensuring that the next generation remains connected to the stories that define the nation’s cultural fabric.
