Will Ranbir Kapoor watch Ramayana with his daughter Raha?
At San-Diego Comic-Con 2026, Ranbir Kapoor had revealed that Ramayana will be Raha’s first film that she will watch in theatres. In earlier interviews, Ranbir Kapoor has often claimed that Raha was one of the main reasons why he said yes to playing Lord Ram on the big screen. “I want my children to know Ramayana so that they know more about our Indian mythology and cultural heritage,” he said, adding that he is excited to watch the film with his daughter.
Did Ranbir Kapoor say yes to Ramayana after Raha was born?
Ranbir Kapoor, during the first screening of the Rama glimpse in the US, recalled how he was initially hesitant to play the role. “I remember when Namit offered me this part around 4 years ago, my instant reaction was ‘No’, I’m not fit enough, not good enough, and I won’t be able to do full justice.”
Ranbir Kapoor claimed that his initial hesitation quickly transformed after Raha was born in 2022. “That fear very quickly turned into gratitude because opportunities like this were needed very much in my life. I was in a period in my life where I needed to change my life and lifestyle. I became a father for the first time. I think the sweet coincidence of playing Lord Ram and becoming a father was needed for a turning point in my life.”
