At a Mumbai promotional event for Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming two-part film Ramayana, Ranbir Kapoor helped YouTube creator MrBeast respond to a crowd chanting “Jai Shri Ram,” prompting cheers. Kapoor also described Lord Rama as an ideal man who gave up privilege to honor his father’s promise and fulfill his duty, explaining the concept of dharma. A replica of the Shiv Dhanush was another event highlight: Kapoor lifted it after offering prayers, and other members of the film’s team also tried lifting it. The event drew attention as the film’s promotion began, though its several-hour delay angered media members and led some to boycott it.
