Ranbir Kapoor was spotted at Mumbai airport last Saturday, en route to Surat, Gujarat, for the opening of a jewelry store. A video capturing him at the event has now gained traction on social media, showing his shocked reaction to a paparazzo’s use of offensive language in Hindi.
The widely circulated footage depicts Ranbir visibly perturbed as a photographer expresses frustration over not being able to capture a clear image of him. Dressed in a black kurta and pyjama, Ranbir found himself at the receiving end of the paparazzo’s verbal abuse, which was directed at someone else amidst the crowd.
This incident occurred amidst leaked photos of Ranbir’s new appearance at the airport, coinciding with the buzz surrounding his role in the upcoming film adaptation of ‘Ramayana.’ Reports suggest that Ranbir is rigorously adhering to a vegetarian diet and workout routine to prepare for his portrayal of Lord Ram.
‘Animal,’ Ranbir’s recent film with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, featuring Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, and Triptii Dimri, garnered attention. Meanwhile, discussions around cinematic adaptations of ‘Ramayana’ have been ignited following Nitesh Tiwari’s announcement, especially in light of Om Raut’s ‘Adipurush’ (2023). However, ‘Adipurush’ received mixed reviews, criticized for its visual effects and alterations to traditional characters, despite featuring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan.
