Ranbir Kapoor to undergo extensive voice & diction training for his portrayal of Lord Rama in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana

After delivering three back-to-back hits with Brahmastra: Part 1 - Shiva, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar and Animal, Ranbir Kapoor is all set to start the shooting of Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, where he will portray Lord Rama. While fans are super-excited for this biggie, the lead star is undergoing extensive training on his voice and diction before the film goes on floors.

“Ranbir has a certain baritone and a way of speaking his lines. It is symbolic and if you have even closed your eyes, you can recognise a dialogue purely based on Ranbir’s voice. In ‘Ramayana’, Nitesh wants to make sure Ranbir sounds different from the characters he’s played in the past. Being a versatile actor, Ranbir is enjoying this process of trying something new,” said a source to India Today.
