Ranbir Kapoor says he initially rejected Ramayana ‘out of fear’

When the first glimpse of Ramayana dropped on Hanuman Jayanti, it instantly grabbed attention, with Ranbir Kapoor’s look as Lord Ram becoming one of the most talked-about reveals. But the actor has now admitted that his first instinct was to turn down the role, recalling, “Out of fear, I said no... I’m not fit enough.” Ranbir revealed that when producer Namit Malhotra first approached him, there wasn’t even a script narration—just a direct question.
