Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor is making waves once again, but this time it’s not for his recent blockbuster “Animal.” While that film, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, continues to be a hot topic—whether due to RK’s riveting performance or ongoing debates about its themes. Ranbir is now focused on an exciting new project. He’s set to appear in Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming adaptation of the epic “Ramayana,” and there’s some fresh news about his roles in the film.
Ranbir Kapoor’s Dual Avatars
Initially, it was announced that Ranbir Kapoor would play the iconic role of Lord Rama in “Ramayana.” However, recent updates reveal that he will be taking on not just one, but two significant avatars of Lord Vishnu. According to reports from Peeping Moon, Ranbir will portray both Lord Rama and Parashuram.
The role of Parashuram is particularly noteworthy. In the epic, Parashuram is a fierce warrior who challenges Lord Rama after Rama’s wedding to Sita. Ranbir’s portrayal of Parashuram is expected to be distinct and striking, with a look that will be quite different from his portrayal of Lord Rama. Fans can look forward to seeing how this intense battle between Rama and Parashuram is depicted on screen.
Amitabh Bachchan Joins the Cast
The excitement doesn’t end with Ranbir Kapoor’s dual roles. Another major piece of news is the inclusion of legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan in the film. Big B, who was last seen in “Kalki 2898 AD” alongside Prabhas and Deepika Padukone, is rumored to have been cast in a special role in “Ramayana.”
Sources suggest that Amitabh Bachchan will lend his iconic voice to the character of Jatayu. Jatayu is a heroic figure in the epic who valiantly battles Ravana during the abduction of Sita. There’s even buzz that the filmmakers might use VFX to enhance Jatayu’s portrayal by incorporating elements of Amitabh’s eyes, adding a unique touch to his character.
Awaiting Official Confirmation
While these details have generated a lot of buzz among fans and the media, it’s important to remember that these are still speculative reports. We’ll have to wait for official announcements from the makers of “Ramayana” to confirm these exciting developments.
In the meantime, anticipation continues to build for Nitesh Tiwari’s film, which promises to bring a fresh take on the timeless epic. With Ranbir Kapoor playing dual roles and Amitabh Bachchan possibly adding his voice to the mix, “Ramayana” is shaping up to be a highly anticipated release in Bollywood.
