Behind-the-scenes pictures show the scale of Ramayana
Luke spoke warmly about being part of the project and working as Ranbir’s stunt double. He also praised the actor, describing the opportunity as a memorable experience. Sharing the pictures, he wrote, “Feeling incredibly privileged to have been part of telling such an important story on Ramayana, stunt doubling for Ranbir Kapoor, truly one of the best actors I’ve had the pleasure of working with. The pictures shared by Luke offer a closer look at how the film’s elaborate scenes are being shot. One image shows a performer dressed in a traditional golden-brown outfit, with layers of rudraksha beads and his hair tied in a topknot next to Ranbir. Other pictures show a detailed costume featuring a leather-like chest piece and a maroon dhoti, with artificial rocky structures in the background. The action setup is just as striking. In one photograph, a stunt performer can be seen standing on a large mechanical rig designed to resemble a mythical creature, with several wires holding the structure in place against a blue-screen backdrop. Another picture shows a massive camera rig positioned for a shot, giving a sense of the equipment involved in filming these sequences.
