Ranbir Kapoor's Double Role as Parashurama in Ramayana Wins Internet: 'This Scene Will Eat'
The buzz around Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana has reached new heights after Ranbir Kapoor officially confirmed that he will be playing a double role in the epic mythological film. Besides portraying Lord Rama, the actor will also appear as Lord Parashurama, another avatar of Lord Vishnu.
The revelation, which had been the subject of fan speculation since the teaser launch, has now been confirmed by Ranbir himself. Ever since the latest trailer and promotional footage dropped, social media has been flooded with reactions, with many fans declaring that the much-awaited confrontation between Rama and Parashurama is going to be one of the film's defining moments.
One fan summed up the excitement perfectly by writing, "This scene will eat," a phrase commonly used online to describe a sequence expected to dominate conversations because of its impact.
According to the actor, he relied on distinct body language, voice modulation, and emotional expressions to separate the calm, compassionate nature of Rama from the fierce and uncompromising temperament of Parashurama. Ranbir also revealed that he spent nearly a year preparing for the roles to better understand their spirituality, motivations, and emotional depth.
Parashurama, known for his fiery temper and unmatched warrior spirit, initially challenges Rama, believing the bow has been disrespected. However, the confrontation ultimately reveals Rama's divine identity as another avatar of Lord Vishnu, making it one of the most significant spiritual and dramatic moments in the epic.
With Ranbir portraying both avatars, audiences are eager to see how director Nitesh Tiwari presents the emotionally layered sequence on screen.
Several users called the Rama-Parashurama encounter one of the biggest highlights of the film, while others applauded Ranbir's transformation into two distinct divine avatars. Comments such as "This scene will eat," "Absolute cinema," and "Can't wait for the Vishnu avatar face-off" quickly began circulating across social media.
Many fans also appreciated the teaser's visual scale and cinematic quality, expressing confidence that the sequence could become one of the standout moments of Indian cinema if executed well. Reddit discussions have similarly reflected excitement about how the dual role will be portrayed, with fans hoping the two characters will have clearly different looks and personalities.
The film also stars Sunny Deol as Hanuman, Ravie Dubey as Lakshman, Arun Govil as King Dasharatha, Kajal Aggarwal as Mandodari, Rakul Preet Singh as Shurpanakha, along with several other prominent actors.
The recently released trailer has been widely praised for its visual effects, large-scale action, music by Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman, and faithful adaptation of the epic.
