Surabhi Das on Ranbir Kapoor playing Lord Rama

In a conversation with Mid-Day, Surabhi revealed that working in Ramayana was overwhelming for her and further spoke about Ranbir always being in character on set. She said, "When Ranbir Kapoor came on set, he obviously came as Rama. I literally felt like, ‘My God, this guy is actually looking like Rama.’ In all the scenes we did together, I always felt that he was in character. And even for Sai Pallavi, we know she doesn't apply much makeup, yet she was looking so pretty." She added, "To play Lord Rama, you need to have that aura and grace. When you walk on set, you need to have that energy about you that makes people look at you no matter what. And Ranbir Kapoor carried that. He had this energy and aura about him. Even when we were not doing a scene, he was in his character, as he is an introverted guy."

About Surabhi Das

Surabhi Das gained recognition with her role in the successful television show Pandya Store. She is essaying the role of Sai Pallavi’s sister, Shrutakirti, in the film.

Ranbir Kapoor on playing Lord Rama

During Ramayana’s teaser launch event in Los Angeles, Ranbir spoke about how he initially hesitated to play Lord Rama, but the birth of his daughter Raha changed his decision. He said, "I remember when Namit offered me this part around 4 years ago, my instant reaction was ‘No’, I'm not fit enough, not good enough, and I won't be able to do full justice. That fear very quickly turned into gratitude because opportunities like this were needed very much in my life." His first look as Lord Rama received mixed reactions from fans. While some praised him, others called him a misfit for the role. The original Lakshman actor, Sunil Lahri, also questioned whether audiences would accept Ranbir as Lord Rama.
