Arora says merged performances with Kapoor brought 'Ramayana' Ram alive
Entertainment
Abhay Arora, who worked as Ranbir Kapoor's body double in the upcoming Ramayana movie, shared how his performance was key to bringing Lord Ram to life.
The makers planned to put Ranbir's face on Abhay's body in some shots and keep both performances, then join selected shots from both performances, making the connection between Lord Vishnu's sixth avatar, Parshuram, and his seventh avatar, Lord Ram, stand out in the film.

To keep things seamless, both Abhay and Ranbir acted out the same lines and emotions during filming. The shoot spanned two days, blending their performances into one smooth scene.
Notably, shots like Parshuram handing over the bow were filmed with Abhay.
The movie also stars Yash as Ravana and Sai Pallavi as Sita.
