Ranbir and Sai's first look from Ramayana leaked

On Saturday, Ranbir was in news as his and Sai Pallavi's epic transformation in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana was unveiled in leaked pictures from the film's set. The actors' looks as Lord Ram and Goddess Sita, respectively, were revealed in photos obtained exclusively by ZoomTV. Ranbir was dressed in traditional attire as Ayodhya's crown prince, Lord Ram, and Sai was in an ethnic look as Sita.

Ranbir, who was last seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal – co-starring Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Triptii Dimri – is reportedly following a strict vegetarian diet and workout routine for essaying the role of Lord Ram.

Prior to Nitesh Tiwari, Om Raut had also attempted a cinematic adaptation of the Ramayana, titled Adipurush (2023), which was met with a lukewarm box office response. The movie was also trolled for its bad VFX and distorting ancient characters. Adipurush featured Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, Saif Ali Khan in lead roles.
