Indira Krishnan Praises Ranbir Kapoor's Lord Ram Avatar: ‘His Eyes Speak Different Language Now'
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. Indira Krishnan Lauds Ranbir Kapoor's Physical Transformation Speaking about his preparation for the role, Indira mentioned, 'Ranbir has worked not only on his physicality, but even his eyes speak a different language. Like Lord Rama is supposed to have strong shoulders because he carries his bow and arrow, Ranbir has worked on his shoulders, his body." Meanwhile, the teaser for Ramayana: Part 1 was recently unveiled, leaving fans enthralled. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the epic drama features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana. Produced by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios in collaboration with Yash's Monster Mind Creations, the film is being hailed as one of the biggest cinematic ventures in Indian history. Ramayana: Part 1 is slated for a grand theatrical release on Diwali 2026. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana co-star Indira Krishnan reveals how he was on set: ‘The rowdiness that he had in Animal…'
Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor is one actor who has proven his versatility time and again. May it be romance, comedy, drama or action, he has aced almost every genre there is, turning into one character after another onscreen like a true chameleon. So fans are obviously intrigued to witness RK as Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari's next film Ramayana, after playing a character like Ranvijay in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal (2023). Actor Indira Krishnan, who worked with Ranbir in both the films, has now opened up about Ranbir's prep for Ramayana and how different he was on the sets of the two films. Ramayana actors Indira Krishnan and Ranbir Kapoor Two years ago, Indira Krishnan portrayed the character of Ranbir Kapoor's love interest Rashmika Mandanna's onscreen mother, who opposed their relationship. In Ramayana, Indira will be seen as RK's mother Kausalya, the first queen of Ayodhya's King Dasharatha. In a recent chat with Bollywood Bubble, Indira shared, 'Ranbir has worked, not only on his physicality but even his eyes speak a different language. Like Lord Rama is supposed to have strong shoulders because he carries his bow and arrow, Ranbir has worked on his shoulders, his body. He would workout for 3-4 hours, and was always punctual on the set. After pack-up also, he would get back to working out. His dedication was 200 percent.' Remembering the first scene that they shot together, Indira revealed, '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. The rowdiness that he had in Animal and to present the divine… was a complete contrast for Ranbir. And I am the only one who has seen that contrast. Even the way he interacted with people on set, he was in character.' Indira went on to laud RK by comparing him to atta (flour), which can be moulded any way. Well, this description about Ranbir's prep and character in Ramayana will surely leave fans excited! Also starring Sai Pallavi and Rocking Star Yash, Ramayana: Part 1 is set to release on Diwali 2026.

Ashutosh Rana responds to fans wanting him cast as Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana'
Ranbir Kapoor 's highly anticipated film 'Ramayana' has been making headlines ever since it was announced. But, before RK could land the role, did you know that actor Ashutosh Rana was initially approached to play Lord Rama in the film? Speaking about losing out on the role, Rana highlighted the importance of patience and trusting in destiny. He said in an interview with Bollywood Bubble, "Mera apna yeh manna hai ki jo cheez aapke prarambh mein, aapki tamaam bhaag mein bhagwan ne likhi hogi woh apne aap pahunch jaati hai. Aap sirf ek jagah par baithkar, dhairyapurvak pratiksha kijiye. Pratiksha aur dhairya agar sahi staan par ki jaa rahi hoon toh fal bhi hoti hai. Toh main yeh maanta hoon ki aap kya sochte hai? Main yeh maanke chalta hoon ki humaara ek naatak hai, Ram Naam ke naatak mein main Ravan ka kidaar nibha raha hoon. (I personally believe that whatever is meant for you—what God has written in your destiny from the very beginning—will find its way to you. You simply need to sit in one place and wait patiently. If your patience and waiting are placed in the right direction, they will bear fruit. So, I believe—what do you think? I consider life to be a play, and in the play named 'Ram Naam', I am simply playing the role of Ravan.)"

(You think more about your enemies than your friends. And the one you constantly think about and remember in your mind—you begin to become like them. So, if we were truly playing the role of Ram, would Lord Ram have kept thinking about himself? And if he had thought only about himself, then how would we have ever called him Ram?)" the veteran star added. Surabhi Das To Play Urmila Meanwhile, much recently the news about an assamese actor Surabhi Das known for her lead role in the television series Nima Denzongpa has stepped in 'Ramayana: Part 1 and 2'.
