Talking about Kapoor as Rama, Namit Malhotra previously said, "From watching our fathers share meals and laughter to now, four decades later, coming together to tell one of the greatest epics of all time. It's been quite a journey. I have witnessed your journey closely. The highs, the setbacks, the quiet resilience, and the way you've stayed so grounded through it all, both on and off screen. There was never a doubt in my mind. There is no one better to portray Lord Rama."
