The cast of the much-anticipated film Ramayana, including actor Ajinkya Deo, discusses difficulties they faced while preparing for their roles. Deo, who plays Maharishi Vishwamitra, describes how wearing period costume elements during production created challenges for the lead actor, Ranbir Kapoor.
In particular, outlets highlight complaints about the weight and discomfort of the on-set costume. NDTV runs multiple reports featuring Deo’s account that Ranbir’s character, Lord Ram, had trouble wearing the crown and the full get-up. Times of India similarly focuses on costume strain, adding detail that Ranbir would grow tired in the heavy attire and specifically mentioning the crown as a point of difficulty.
Across coverage, the shared theme is that heavy, elaborate costuming affected performers’ comfort and stamina during filming. While Times of India also references the film’s strong audience response and praise for visuals and performances, NDTV stays more directly focused on the behind-the-scenes challenge described by Deo.
