Amid much speculation, Ranbir Kapoor has confirmed that he will play a double role in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana. While he is primarily headlining the film as Rama, he will also briefly be seen as Parshurama, Vishnu’s avatar before Rama. Earlier, the double role was teased in the latest Rama teaser; however, there had been no confirmation until Ranbir cleared the air.

While talking to Collider at the recently held Ramayana teaser launch in LA, Ranbir Kapoor opened up about using his body language and voice to play both Rama and Parshurama, since both characters have different temperaments. He said, “Lord Vishnu had different avatars. Lord Rama was an avatar, and Lord Parshurama was an avatar before Lord Rama."
