He further assured that the film will be visually impressive and said, “You will also get to see the special effects that will make you believe that it (the events unfolding) has very genuinely happened rather than making one feel that these are special effects. To be honest, I’m very sure it’s going to be great and I’m sure that everybody will love it.”

During the Red Sea Film Festival in Jeddah, Ranbir confirmed completing the shoot of the first part of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana and said, “It has two parts. I have finished the shooting of Part 1 and will shoot Part 2 soon. Just to be a part of that story, I am so humbled to essay Ram’s role. It’s a dream for me. It’s a film that has everything. It teaches what Indian culture is about — family dynamics and husband-wife dynamics.” Ravi Dubey also confirmed playing Laxman in the film.
