Vivek Oberoi says Ranbir Kapoor made him see My Ram Ji in Ramayana: Part 1, calls Yash brilliant as Ravana

Following the theatrical release of Ramayana: Part 1 on November 5, Vivek Oberoi took to social media to share a heartfelt note celebrating the film and the people who brought its world to life. The actor, who plays Vidyuthjiva in Nitesh Tiwaris mythological epic, described the project as a significant contribution to Indian culture and acknowledged the efforts of its cast and crew. Addressing producer Namit Malhotra, Vivek wrote, My brother Namit Malhotra, Ramayana is not just a film, its a MahaYagya for Bhartiya culture & values and playing Vidyuthjiva is my small Ahuti in this Mahayagya! Thank you for pushing me to do this bhai! He also praised the scale of the project, calling it a defining moment for Indian cinema. The world of Avatar may be a creation of imagination, but the world of Shri Ram is our civilisation, our heritage and our truth. What a defining moment for Indian cinema! Vivek reserved special praise for director Nitesh Tiwari, acknowledging the years he had dedicated to the film. He said, I didnt feel like I was watching a film; I felt like I had travelled back to the Ram Yug. He also applauded Yashs portrayal of Ravana, writing, The grandeur, power and presence you bring to Ravan are something else. Recalling the sequence featuring Ravanas ten heads, he added, Just brilliant! The actor was equally appreciative of Ranbir Kapoors portrayal of Lord Rama. There may have been curiosity about how you would portray our beloved Shri Ram, but after watching you yesterday, I can simply say, I saw my Ram ji on screen, he wrote. Vivek also praised Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman and Rakul Preet Singh, while appreciating Lara Duttas performance as Kaikeyi and Arun Govils presence as Dashrath.
