Ranbir Kapoor preps to transform into Lord Ram: Gym stunts & archery lessons unveiled

Stepping into the shoes of a deity requires more than just talent and Ranbir Kapoor understands this well as he gears up to portray Lord Ram in the highly anticipated screen adaptation of Ramayana. Under the direction of Nitesh Tiwari, renowned for his work in "Dangal" and "Chhichhore," the film is slated to commence filming later this year.

Despite the film's prolonged pre-production phase and casting adjustments, Ranbir Kapoor remains steadfast in his commitment to the iconic role. Alongside Sai Pallavi as Sita and KGF star Yash as Ravana, Kapoor embarks on a rigorous training regimen to embody the revered character of Lord Ram.

Recent glimpses into Kapoor's preparation reveal his dedication to the role. A photograph circulating online captures him mastering a headstand in the gym, a testament to his determination and discipline. Shared by his trainer Nam, the image underscores Kapoor's relentless pursuit of excellence, marked by hashtags such as "Ramayan," "new skill," and "prep."

Further insights into Kapoor's preparation surface as reports suggest his engagement with an archery coach, a crucial aspect of Lord Ram's character. Images depicting Kapoor alongside his coach, arrows strewn across the table, hint at the meticulous attention to detail in his training.

Anticipation mounts as Ramayana gears up for its official announcement next month, with a Diwali 2025 release date in sight. Meanwhile, Kapoor's cinematic journey extends beyond the divine realm, with upcoming projects including "Love and War," a period romantic drama directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, alongside Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal. As Kapoor immerses himself in multifaceted roles, audiences await the magic he is set to bring to the silver screen.
