Ranbir Kapoor’s no-show at ‘first look of Rama’ launch raises eyebrows

MUMBAI: As India eagerly awaited Ranbir Kapoor’s first look as Rama from Nitesh Tiwary’s upcoming film “Ramayana,” the Bollywood star’s absence from the grand media event held on Hanuman Jayanti on Thursday raised several questions.

Earlier in the morning, Ranbir’s maiden look as Lord Rama was unveiled. A media event had been scheduled to mark the occasion, attended by director Nitesh Tiwary and producer Namit Malhotra.

Despite the presence of cameras, reporters, and flashing lights, all set to capture the actor’s glimpse, Ranbir Kapoor was notably missing from the event.

However, in a notable contrast, a special screening was held for select media houses on Wednesday evening, where Ranbir did make an appearance alongside the director and producer.

Just a day earlier, he had attended a closed-door special screening with select media, a contrast that left reporters on the ground wondering what had changed between the two appearances.
