Actor Indira Krishnan, who previously appeared alongside Ranbir Kapoor in the film Animal, is set to reunite with the actor in Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming mythological epic Ramayana. While the two shared a tense relationship on screen in the 2023 crime drama, their roles in the new film present a significantly different dynamic. In Ramayana, Indira Krishnan will portray Kaushalya, the mother of Lord Ram, a character played by Ranbir Kapoor. The casting brings the actors together again in a narrative rooted in mythology rather than the dark and intense themes explored in their earlier collaboration.
Recently, Indira Krishnan shared a photograph with Ranbir Kapoor on social media, offering a glimpse from what appears to be the sets of Ramayana Part 2. The picture quickly attracted attention from fans online, particularly because it suggested that filming for the sequel has already begun. In the photo, Ranbir Kapoor appears in a clean-shaven look, which is believed to be part of his appearance for the role of Lord Ram. The image was shared on Instagram along with a heartfelt message from the actress, in which she expressed admiration for Ranbir and reflected on their experience working together.
In her post, Indira praised Ranbir Kapoor’s dedication and talent as an actor. Quoting acting teacher Scott Freeman, she mentioned that lived experience, imagination and empathy are essential tools for any performer. She went on to describe Ranbir as an actor whose performances often stand out and leave a lasting impression. The actress also mentioned that she had a pleasant day working with him and appreciated the guidance and tips he shared during their interaction. Her message suggested that the two share a warm professional relationship beyond their on-screen collaborations.
The post quickly drew reactions from fans, many of whom expressed excitement about the upcoming film. Several comments referred to the mythological characters the actors will portray, with fans mentioning “Ram ji” and “Kaushalya maa.” Others wrote about their anticipation to see the chemistry between the two actors in the film. The photo and accompanying note also sparked discussion about the scale and casting of the project, which has been widely reported as one of the most ambitious mythological films currently in production in India.
Recent reports suggest that Ranbir Kapoor has begun filming for Ramayana Part 2 in Mumbai. Other cast members are expected to join the shoot in the coming weeks. Actors Sunny Deol and Yash are reportedly scheduled to begin filming soon as the production continues to expand its schedule. According to reports, the second installment of the film will focus on events following the abduction of Sita, a key turning point in the epic narrative.
The film features an ensemble cast portraying major characters from the Ramayana. Actor Sai Pallavi will appear as Sita, while Sunny Deol is expected to portray the character of Hanuman. Kannada actor Yash, known for his role in the KGF franchise, will play Ravana. The project is being directed by Nitesh Tiwari and is planned as a multi-part cinematic adaptation of the ancient epic.
The first installment of Ramayana is scheduled to release in theatres during the Diwali festival this year. The second part is expected to arrive later, with reports indicating a planned theatrical release in 2027. As filming progresses and cast members share glimpses from the sets, the project continues to generate interest among audiences eager to see how the epic story will be interpreted on the big screen.
