Ranbir Kapoor has shared how becoming a father transformed his perspective on playing Lord Ram in the highly anticipated film "Ramayana." He now recounts tales from the epic to his three-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Raha, after completing his shoots.

This ambitious project aims to bring the revered epic to a global audience, with collaborations including A. R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer. The cast also features prominent actors such as Sai Pallavi, Ravi Dubey, Yash, and Sunny Deol.
