Indira Krishnan, who played Ranbir Kapoor’s mother-in-law in Animal, is now set to portray his mother Kaushalya in Ramayana. This rare coincidence gives her a unique perspective on the actor’s range, and she hasn’t held back in praising him.
She described Ranbir Kapoor as the biggest star, highlighting not just his stardom but also his unmatched acting ability. According to her, he brings immense sincerity to his roles and always prioritizes the director’s satisfaction over personal ego.
Indira also reflected on the controversy surrounding Animal. She hinted that Ranbir’s role in Ramayana will be a complete departure—a 360-degree character shift—from the intense, rugged image he portrayed in Animal. In contrast, the upcoming role gives off a divine and calm vibe.
Her comments come at a time when Ranbir Kapoor has faced criticism and trolling ever since he was announced as Lord Ram. This wave of praise might serve as a strategic counter to the backlash, aimed at reshaping public perception of him from toxic and intense to spiritual and noble.
As Indira noted, his bond with co-stars and his discipline on set reflect an actor deeply committed to his craft. Whether this shift will fully change public sentiment remains to be seen, but the transformation is clearly underway.
