The pre-production of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, featuring Ranbir Kapoor, is underway As reported by India Today, Ranbir will undergo significant voice training to portray Lord Ram in the upcoming movie because Nitesh wants him to sound ‘different’. The movie also features Sai Pallavi and Yash as Sita and Ravan, respectively.
The filmmaker is reportedly doing a lot of research and is not skipping any steps. It stated that he had created a separate team dedicated to the dialogue department and diction, which would work closely with the stars. The report claims that Ranbir has already been assigned to a diction expert who will make sure that his pronunciation of the dialogue is in line with the director’s ideas. They claim that there’s also a special emphasis on costumes.
According to India Today, a source said, “Ranbir has a certain baritone and a way of speaking his lines. It is symbolic and if you have even closed your eyes, you can recognise a dialogue purely based on Ranbir’s voice. In Ramayana, Nitesh wants to make sure he sounds different from the characters he’s played in the past. Being a versatile actor, he is enjoying this process of trying something new.”
Ranbir is set to begin filming the movie soon. If rumours are to be believed, the makers are also in touch with Bobby Deol to portray Kumbakaran and Sunny Deol to play Hanuman.
