The narrator continues, “Men have one hope. Not a God, but man - Rama.” Ranbir Kapoor as Rama says, “If I don’t stop him, the world will fall. This is just the beginning.” With its ominous introduction to Ravana and Rama’s resolute declaration, the TV spot sets up the epic confrontation at the heart of the film while leaving viewers wanting a closer look at the larger cinematic world.
Opening up about playing Lord Rama in a behind-the-scenes video, Kapoor 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 (This is not a role. It's not as if I was offered a film and the role is exciting. It's a responsibility)."
