I can relate to the pressure an actor feels while portraying such iconic characters. Every single actor has embraced that responsibility and delivered a brilliant performance. @raviedubey @Sai_Pallavi92 @Rakulpreet
@arrahman @HansZimmer, every emotion has been beautifully underlined by your music. What a phenomenal score.
#RanbirKapoor, brother, you made us truly feel the aura and divinity of Rama. @TheNameIsYash sir, my eyes grew bigger and bigger with every shot of yours. I don’t think anyone else could have done justice to that character. I am running short of words to tell more about your brilliant performance but one thing , as a kannadiga you have always made us feel proud.”
