Summary
- Ranbir Kapoor trained for 1.5 years for Ramayana role.
- He learned archery from an Indian Olympian for the film.
- Understanding Lord Rama's essence was the most challenging aspect.
Ranbir Kapoor undertook extensive physical preparation for his portrayal of Lord Rama in the upcoming Ramayana films. His training commenced approximately eighteen months prior to filming, focusing significantly on archery techniques under the guidance of an Indian Olympian.
Kapoor also participated in specialized workshops led by Terry Notary, which encompassed movement, breathing exercises, and overall physicality. He acknowledged that while mastering these physical skills was crucial for believability, the deeper challenge lay in understanding and internalizing the spiritual essence of Lord Rama.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana Part 1 is slated for release on November 5 and features Kapoor in the titular role, with Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. The project is a significant endeavor for its producers, Prime Focus and Monster Mind Creations.
