There were also reports of the movie premiering on November 5 in five countries, Thailand, Germany, Australia, Singapore and Malaysia. The same hasn’t been confirmed yet.
Some time back, the makers also released a behind-the-scenes video of Kapoor transforming into Lord Rama. Titled “This Is Our Rama: BTS,” the video features Kapoor alongside director Nitesh Tiwari and Arun Govil, who discuss the qualities that make the actor suited to portray the revered character. When asked about his transformation for the role, Ranbir explains, “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)."
The two-part film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. As Part 1 is releasing in November, part 2 is scheduled for Diwali 2027. The first part is also named “Ramayana: Rise of a Legend.”
