One of the most eagerly awaited films in recent memory is Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana. The film features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita. Lord Indra is portrayed by Kunal Kapoor in the movie, who has a significant part. Kunal showed off a clean-shaven appearance in his most recent Instagram photo. Soon, the photographs were posted on Reddit, where viewers speculated that this must be how he would appear in the movie.

Kunal's most recent appearance

The first image showed Kunal seated in the makeup chair, facing the mirror, and sporting a clean-shaven appearance. Kunal was pictured in another image on a movie set with a piece of the camera gear mounted on his head.

Online reactions

"Perfect guy for Indra Aryan features," a Reddit user remarked in response to the images. Does the creator truly understand their mythology? Is this something I should honestly be optimistic about? "He does look like Indra Dev, let's wait," a fan remarked. "His face is proper for the role," said another supporter, concurring.

"Bro was born for the role of gods," read one remark. One admirer remarked, "It does look like Superman, though." "They actually used this casting ngl to cook," said another comment.

In an interview with News18, Kunal previously discussed the movie, saying, "It is going to be something very special that deserves the kind of film this story should have. I'm really looking forward to it. I believe the audience will be astonished by what they see. It will be a spectacle unlike anything anyone has ever seen. It's scheduled to be released late next year, so it will be quite unique.

In addition to Arun Govil, Sunny Deol, Ravi Dubey, Sheeba Chadda, and Lara Dutta also play important roles in Ramayana's ensemble cast. The film is scheduled to be released in two installments, one in 2026 on Diwali and the other in 2027.
