Ranbir Kapoor does handstand as he prepares to play Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana; Look here

Ranbir Kapoor and Nitesh Tiwari will collaborate on Ramayan. Although the project is yet to be formally announced, it was reported that Ramayan would begin filming this year. The film also reportedly stars Sai Pallavi. And now it seems that Ranbir Kapoor is already in preparation mode for the same, as his gym trainers shared a snapshot of his workout.

On Saturday, Ranbir Kapoor’s fitness trainer posted a photo on Instagram showing the actor during an intense workout at the gym. The picture shows Ranbir dressed in workout gear, doing a handstand with great dedication and concentration. The coach’s accompanying caption exclaimed, “#ranbirkapoor First Headstand #headstand #ramayan #newskill #trainingwithnam #prep.” The hashtags also indicate that this training is part of Ranbir’s preparation for his role in the upcoming film Ramayana.

Meanwhile, a new report claims that Ramayan may not start filming this year. The film supposedly has “several internal issues” that need to be resolved before filming can begin. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The project is underway. But not this year.” The insider added, “There are too many internal issues to resolve.” The report also claimed that costumes are also another reason for the delay. “The costumes are not ‘luxurious’ enough,” the report mentions. Nitesh and Ranbir are yet to address the claims.

Last week, Siasat claimed that producer Madhu Mantena had pulled out of the project. The Nitesh Tiwari directorial was reportedly being co-produced by Allu Aravind and Madhu Mantena, but the latter has now stepped down from his role as producer. The reason for Madhu Mantena’s alleged decision is currently unknown. It is also worth noting that the manufacturers have not yet officially confirmed the Mantena recall. News18 was unable to verify the claims.

In Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, Ranbir Kapoor will play the role of Lord Ram. Sai Pallavi has been roped in for the role of Sita. KGF star Yash is also likely to play Ravana in the film, while Sunny Deol has reportedly been roped in for the role of Hanuman. Bobby Deol and Vijay Sethupathi are also reportedly in talks for the roles of Kumbhakarna and Vibhashana respectively. It was recently reported that Amitabh Bachchan has been roped in for the role of King Dashrath in the film. However, so far there is no official confirmation in this regard.
