Ahead of the premiere of ‘Rama’ on April 2, Ranbir Kapoor, along with director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra, headed to Los Angeles where they premiered the first visuals of their film to a select audience at an IMAX screening. At the event, the trio also sat down for a Q&A where they answered questions about the upcoming film, the characters and more. In a video from the event, Ranbir is seen taking center stage as he shares his views on the portrayal of Lord Rama. At the launch, Kapoor not only described Lord Rama as a mythological figure, not as a “conscious guardian” but also introduced the term “Maryada Purushottam” to Western audiences meaning the ideal man.
