The cast of Ramayana — Ranbir Kapoor , Sai Pallavi and Ravie Dubey — appeared on Kaun Banega Crorepati to promote their upcoming film. On the show, Amitabh Bachchan asked the actors about their first instinct when they were approached to play Lord Ram, Sita Maa and Lakshman, respectively. Ranbir admitted that his first instinct was fear, but it soon turned into gratitude.
The makers of Kaun Banega Crorepati have released a new promotional clip from the episode. My first instinct was fear, that if I am qualified enough to play this role? Whether I will be able to do this role? The faith of crores of people is linked to Lord Shri Ram. But very soon this fear turned into gratitude.”
Speaking about his role, Ranbir said, “When this role was offered to me, I knew that this isn’t just a role, it is a big responsibility.
It is two-part adaptation of the Hindu epic, with the first part scheduled to release in theatres on November 5, 2026. She revealed that she prayed to Sita Maa before performing the role in the film. Ranbir admitted that the role came to him around the time he became a father, making the opportunity feel even more special. He added, “I felt gratitude that I got this opportunity at this stage in my life and a chance to become a better human. It was during this time that I became a father and I believe that this film is a God’s gift that I got an opportunity to become a better human, to understand Ramayana deeply and to get the opportunity to work with these beautiful people. It not impossible to become like Lord Ram but to learn something from him is a big deal for all of us. During the show, Sai Pallavi also shared her approach to playing Sita Maa. Every time when I play a character, I think what can I give to that character, but this was the first time when I thought – ‘What can I get for playing a role like that of Sita Maa? Like what knowledge will I gain from this? So, I wanted to keep the process transparent. I didn’t want to think anything about it. I prayed to Sita Maa and went forward with it. Apart fom Ranbir, Sai Pallavi and Ravie Dubey, it also stars Yash plays Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, Rajul Preet Singh as Surpanakha and others. The film also features music by Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman.
She said, “I didn’t want to use my head this time.
