Ranbir Kapoor's disciplined approach to Lord Ram
Indira Krishna said that Ranbir Kapoor handled public trolling regarding his casting as Lord Ram by focusing on his skills and body language rather than responding with words.
Throughout the entire shoot, he remained mindful of the responsibility and significance of portraying the character of Lord Ram. He worked closely with director Nitesh Tiwari and the crew, often insisting on retakes until both he and the director were satisfied with the shot.
Physical challenges during the filming of Ramayana
Filming involved logistical challenges with heavy costumes. A scene where Indira Krishna, as Kaushalya, blesses Lord Ram required half a day of coordination due to the weight of the attire. Ranbir Kapoor wore heavy armour while Indira Krishna wore a costume weighing approximately 12 kg during this sequence.
Indira Krishna also filmed a sequence at the Film City helipad. The production setup involved a podium over 50 feet high during the June heat, where she held a baby mould above her head.
Sai Pallavi cast as Sita
Sai Pallavi plays the role of Sita in the production. Indira Krishna described her as having a natural, grounded, and calm personality that fits the character well.
Production details of Nitesh Tiwari's epic
The production features a screenplay co-written by Nitesh Tiwari and Shridhar Raghavan, with Namit Malhotra and Yash serving as producers.
Indira Krishna plays the role of Kaushalya in the film. She previously played Ranbir Kapoor’s mother-in-law in the film Animal, as reported by NDTV on 5 November 2026.
