Earlier today, Ranbir Kapoor was seen at the Mumbai Airport, jetting off to Surat in Gujarat. When the actor finally arrived in Surat and exited the airport, he was met with fans who wanted to take selfies with him. Ranbir obliged them and even accepted a sweet painting one fan gifted him. He also thanked the paparazzi as they welcomed him to Surat.
The actor opted for a black kurta and pyjama for his airport look. Reportedly, Ranbir is in Surat to inaugurate a jewellery showroom. Ranbir’s arrival video has gone viral across social media. Check out the video here:
Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi have finally started shooting for their much-awaited movie, Ramayana. On Saturday, pictures of the two actors from the sets of Nitesh Tiwari’s film were leaked online. In the photos exclusively accessed by Zoom, Ranbir and Sai were seen in their Ram and Sita avatars respectively.
In the leaked photos, Ranbir wore a maroon dhoti and added a dupatta of the same colour on one of his shoulders. He also sported a long golden neckline. He looked charming in long hair and also kept a subtle smile on his face. On the other hand, Sai wore a purple saree and accessorised her look with heavy traditional jewellery. The pictures also made it clear that Ranbir and Sai are currently shooting for pre-vanvasa sequences.
Previously, it was reported that Ranbir underwent a strict schedule to prepare himself for the role of Ram. He reduced carbohydrate intake and heightened cardio exercises, including running and bodyweight training. A source cited by India Today claimed that the actor intended to slim down rather than maintaining a muscular build, especially shedding weight from his face and torso, areas he had bulked up for his role in Animal.
It should be noted that this is not the first time that pictures from Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana sets have been leaked online. Earlier this month, Zoom obtained some pictures from the sets of the film which featured Lara Dutta and Arun Govil in their respective characters. Govil, popularly known for playing the role of Ram in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayana, will be stepping into the shoes of King Dashrath in the movie. On the other hand, Lara Dutta will be seen as Kaikeyi.
Besides Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi, Ramayana is also likely to star Yash as Ravana, whereas Sunny Deol has reportedly been locked in for the role of Hanuman. Bobby Deol and Vijay Sethupathi are also reportedly in talks for the roles of Kumbhakarna and Vibhashana respectively.
Reportedly, makers are planning to release Ramayana on Diwali 2025. However, there is no official confirmation regarding this as of now.
