Speaking about his daughter's interest in the epic, Ranbir said Raha had visited the film's sets several times and had become familiar with the story through the conversations she shares with her parents.
“Raha herself is so interested in the story of Ramayana. Alia and I always tell her stories. She's visited sets many times. She's given a shot with Sai (Pallavi), me, and Lakshman also. She's been part of this journey,” he said.
Ranbir plays Lord Ram in the film, while Sai Pallavi portrays Sita. The actor's reference to Lakshman was to Ravie Dubey, who plays the character.

Ranbir Kapoor wants Raha to learn Ramayana's values
Beyond her appearance on the sets, Ranbir said he hopes Ramayana will be the first story Raha watches on screen because of the lessons it can offer.
“I'd like my daughter to watch Ramayana. The intention to become a better person came at the right time in my life. It coincided with me being a father,” he said.
The 44-year-old added that becoming a parent had made him reflect on the values he wanted to pass on to his children.
“I think there are certain moral values that my parents passed on to me, and I would like to pass on to my children as well. I think Ramayana is a great start. It really sets your value system in place,” he explained.
Ranbir and Alia welcomed Raha in November 2022. The couple have spoken about parenthood on several occasions, and his latest comments show how he hopes to introduce their daughter to stories that have shaped his own understanding of life.
The actor's portrayal of Lord Ram in Ramayana is directed by Nitesh Tiwari. The film is planned as a two-part adaptation, with the first instalment scheduled for a theatrical release during Diwali 2026.
