Overview
- Kapoor confirmed in recent interviews that he will portray both Lord Rama and Lord Parshuram, following teaser showcases for the film in Los Angeles and in India.
- He said he first declined the role of Rama but changed his mind after becoming a father, adding that his three-year-old daughter now asks about characters like Hanuman and Sita after his shoot days.
- The production is planned as two films with a widely reported budget of Rs 4,000 crore, with outlets variously citing a Diwali 2026 or October 2026 window for Part 1 and 2027 for Part 2.
- The cast features Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, with Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi and Arun Govil as Dashrath among others.
- Rama and Parshuram are both avatars of Vishnu, which helps explain the creative choice to cast one actor in both roles across traditions that depict their meeting at different points in the epic.
