Ranbir fans are in for a treat! As per Ranbir Kapoor's latest news, he has a double role in the upcoming movie Ramayana. The Bollywood heartthrob will be playing the role of both Lord Ram and Lord Parshuram. Ranbir Kapoor’s double role in the epic has significantly increased excitement around the mega project. Needless to say, this ambitious mythological project is the talk of the tinsel town.

This Nitesh Tiwari’s venture has made waves since the day it was announced and is expected to be the biggest cinematic spectacle in Indian film history.

Ranbir Kapoor Confirms Double Role

Speaking of his double role, Ranbir Kapoor called it a “fantastic opportunity” to play two iconic characters. The Kapoor scion also dished on his acting method. He told Collider:

"I think as an actor, apart from body language, if you deeply understand the spirituality, the emotionality of characters, everything starts from there. I think that's what I did, to really understand who these people are, who these characters are, what they stand for, what their motives are, and then everything becomes easier."

On one hand, he will be portraying the central figure of the story, Lord Ram, and on the other, he will be playing Lord Parshuram, a complex and powerful character. The character Parshuram is known for his intense presence in the epic.  

This Ranbir Kapoor double role is a bold, creative decision. Needless to say, Ranbir has a lot of expectations to meet.

Ramayana Teaser Creates Massive Buzz
