Indira Krishnan, who will portray Kaushalya in Ramayana, praised Ranbir Kapoor for his dedication and hard work in portraying Lord Ram.
Indira Krishnan is set to share the screen once again with Ranbir Kapoor in Ramayana: Part 1, where she will portray Kaushalya, the mother of Lord Ram. The two previously worked together in Animal. Speaking about Ranbir, Indira praised his remarkable ability to adapt to any character, whether it's the intense, rowdy persona in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal or the composed and serene role in Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming epic. According to her, Ranbir transforms effortlessly into any character he takes on.
In conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Indira Krishnan said, 'I remember the first day, we were shooting for the sandalwood ceremony and the way he sat down, he sat like how one imagines Lord Rama to sit. How he positioned his upper body, his face, his eyes, it's not easy. Because his upper body was without any clothes, since in that scene Lord Rama was wearing just his dhoti. The kind of comfort level he brought in… And I think that is the plus point of Ramayana. You can see that contrast from Animal."
She noted that the contrast in Ranbir's performances was clearly visible, and having worked with him on both films, she could appreciate the transformation even more.
