Ranbir Kapoor to play triple role in Ramayana? He will be portraying the role of Lord Ram and…
Ever since Nitesh Tiwari’s ‘Ramayana’ video announcements have come out, fans are counting the days until they can see Ranbir Kapoor portraying the role of Lord Ram. The 3 video announcement came out on 3rd July with just 7 seconds of actual footage from the film. While the glimpse duration was too less to draw any firm conclusion, fans are convinced that Ranbir Kapoor will again be swooning them away with his impeccable performance. Besides this, another report of him portraying 3 different mythological roles is doing the rounds.
Ranbir Kapoor’s Role in Ramayana
As per a previous report, Ranbir was never supposed to play only the role of Lord Ram. Sources suggest that he was also approached to play the role of Maharishi Parashurama, who is a warrior who confronts Ram during Sita’s Swayam Vara. As per the original story, Parashurama is upset that Ram has broken Lord Shiva’s bow. So, he challenges him to aim an arrow at Lord Vishnu’s bow. When Lord Rama does this too, then Parashurama realises that he is standing in front of the avatar of Lord Vishnu himself. Ranbir will be seen portraying this intense encounter from both sides, with the same face yet a completely different persona.
According to sources, the makers have spent enough money and done immense work on Ranbir’s look as Parashurama so he looks unrecognisable. The transformation is so radical that even the crew member couldn’t easily identify.
Ranbir Kapoor’s Triple Role
Besides this, speculations of Ranbir’s triple role have also started making waves. As per the reports, the teaser suggests in the opening shot of the teaser, Vishnu’s face resembles Ranbir, suggesting theories that he will also be playing the role of Vishnu. While neither Nitesh Tiwari nor any producer has confirmed these rumours, social media is convinced that Ranbir Kapoor would be playing triple role in this film.
With a lavish budget, these 2 part films’ high ambition is made on Rs 835 crores and Rs 700 crores respectively. With this staggering budget, larger-than-life visuals, and international VFX, Ramayana is all set to redefine Indian filmmaking.
