Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana is one of the most-awaited films. While everyone is eagerly waiting to see the actor in Lord Ram’s avatar in the Nitesh Tiwari directorial, spiritual leader Sadhguru has also shared his suggestions for Ranbir now. During a recent conversation with the producer of the film, Namit Malhotra, Sadhguru asked Ranbir Kapoor to ‘transform’ himself for the movie. “If they have sense, they should become (a little like Maryada Purshottam). It’s an opportunity that you get to play the role of Rama, so you’d better transform yourself. When will you do it in your life? At the same time, there will be a certain unrealistic expectation,” he said. The spiritual leader then cited the example of Telugu superstar NT Rama Rao and added, “There was NT Rama Rao in Telugu films, who people worshipped as Krishna because he played him in some 15-16 movies. They put huge cutouts of him playing the flute, and he won the election outright. At one time, it was absolutely so. To some extent, it is still there.” Ranbir Kapoor Turns Vegetarian For Ramayana? In September this year, it was reported that Ranbir has decided to adopt certain lifestyle changes for Ramayana. Reportedly, the actor is focusing on a strict sattvic diet, early workouts, and meditation to embody the spiritual discipline of the character. He has not only quit alcohol but also turned vegetarian. Ramayana Part 1: What’s The Update? Reportedly, the makers have already wrapped up the edit of the first instalment of the film.

They have frozen the run time, and locked the line-up for the saga. The first round of VFX is also done, and the team has now taken the final edit for a prolonged round of post-production,” a source cited by the entertainment portal claimed. Ramayana will be released worldwide: Part 1 on Diwali 2026 and Part 2 on Diwali 2027.
