Ranbir Kapoor returns to the sets of Ramayan, dons a clean look for Lord Ram
, who has been making headlines with his packed film schedule, is officially back on the sets of 's Ramayan. The actor, who plays Lord Ram in the ambitious epic, resumed shooting over the past few days at Filmcity, Mumbai. What's caught everyone's attention, though, is Ranbir's fresh, clean-cut look — a stark contrast from his recent appearance for 's Love & War. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now For Bhansali's period romance, Ranbir sported a distinct moustached look, paired with slightly longer hair. It was a style that had fans curious and eager, as behind-the-scenes glimpses from the set went viral on social media. However, just a few days ago, the actor surprised everyone by shaving off his moustache and chopping his hair short. While initial speculation suggested this transformation might be for a younger version of his character in Love & War, it turns out the makeover was for Ramayan. According to industry sources, Ranbir has dived back into the world of Ramayan and has been filming crucial sequences at Filmcity. The production, mounted on a massive scale, aims to reimagine the iconic mythological tale for a new generation, with Ranbir essaying the revered role of Lord Ram. The actor had reportedly taken a brief break from the Ramayan sets to wrap up portions of Love & War, and his return marks a significant phase in the film's shoot schedule.
