Ranbir Kapoor says portraying Lord Ram in the upcoming film Ramayana is “a responsibility,” describing the role as more than just an acting part. In interviews, he frames the character as one that carries expectations tied to the story’s cultural and spiritual significance.

The film’s first instalment is scheduled to release in theatres on Diwali this year. Both references from the same outlet emphasize the timeline for the theatrical launch, while focusing on Kapoor’s remarks about the weight of the role. There are no major differences in the provided accounts beyond the phrasing used to characterize his approach—moving from “not a role” to “it’s a responsibility.”
