Ranbir's preparation for the role
For the role, Ranbir has adhered to a strict vegetarian diet and rigorous workout regimen. Photos and videos of his preparation have been shared by his fitness trainer also.
According to a report in India Today, he is undergoing voice and diction training to ensure a distinctive portrayal of the character.
"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 Ranbir sounds different from the characters he’s played in the past. Being a versatile actor, Ranbir is enjoying this process of trying something new," India Today quoted its source as saying.
