Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana is undoubtedly one of the most ambitious and monumental cinematic ventures in Indian film history.

Amid the growing excitement surrounding the film, the leading cast, Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, along with director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra, were seen promoting the film at the San Diego Comic-Con event recently.
Ranbir Kapoor opens up about his preparation for Lord Rama
During the panel discussion at the event, Ranbir Kapoor was seen speaking about how he prepared to step into the role of Lord Rama. He shared, "I always feel that kind of preparation, making a body or action and dance, is kind of easy because that is a bit superficial. But to really understand the philosophy of Lord Rama deeply at this age and this point in my life was really important to embody this character. You want to give it your best and be simple and not complicated. You want to be someone with whom someone aged 80 can relate. Understanding the teachings of Lord Rama was more important than the superficial transformation."
