Ranbir Kapoor's Parashurama Transformation
Ranbir Kapoor plays both Lord Rama and Parashurama in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana. The BTS video shared by Tom Mee shows Ranbir during the makeup and prosthetics process for his Parashurama look.
Sharing the video, Tom Mee wrote, “Prosthetics for Parasuram, Part One. I'm the lucky one! Because my favourite art and my favourite artist came together in one moment. Not everyone gets to experience that, and I feel truly blessed to be one of them.”
The video captures different stages of the transformation, showing the prosthetic work being done on Ranbir to create the character.

Ranbir Kapoor As Parashurama
Parashurama is known by several names, including Rama Jamadagni and Bhargava Rama. He is regarded as the sixth avatar of Vishnu and is also counted among the Chiranjivi, or immortals, in Hindu tradition.
In the Ramayana, Parashurama meets Rama after his marriage to Sita while Rama is returning to Ayodhya. He challenges Rama before recognising his divine identity and later withdraws to continue his spiritual practices.
Parashurama also appears in the Mahabharata and is described as the teacher of warriors such as Bhishma, Drona and Karna.
