While some have managed to capture the essence and magic of the divine character, others have fallen short. After the big failure of Om Raut’s Adipurush, audiences await Ranbir Kapoor's portrayal of Lord Rama in Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming trilogy, Ramayana. We take the opportunity of today’s occasion to explore a list of actors who we believe could be the best picks to play Lord Rama on-screen.

Hrithik Roshan

Hrithik Roshan, often referred to as the "Greek God" of Bollywood, possesses the looks and charisma to bring the divine aura of Lord Rama to life. With his remarkable acting skills and well-chiselled features, he could effortlessly portray the righteousness, courage, and moral values that characterise Lord Rama.

Ayushmann Khurrana

Ayushmann Khurrana has made a name for himself by taking up diverse and challenging roles. His ability to portray relatable characters with an endearing charm makes him an interesting choice for Lord Rama. Khurrana's ability to connect with audiences on an emotional level could make his portrayal truly special.

Kartik Aaryan

Kartik Aaryan's boyish charm and approachable demeanour could make him an appealing choice to portray the young and idealistic Lord Rama. His ability to convey vulnerability and strength simultaneously could be a winning combination for this iconic role.

Rajkummar Rao

Rajkummar Rao is renowned for his versatility as an actor. He has portrayed a wide range of characters, showcasing his acting prowess. His ability to adapt to different roles and embody the essence of the character could make him a compelling Lord Rama.  Happy Dussehra 2023: From Delhi 6 to RA.One, Check Movies Depicting Vijayadashami Celebrations and the Triumph of Good Over Evil!

Vicky Kaushal

Vicky Kaushal has garnered praise for his performances in various films, including Uri: The Surgical Strike and Raazi. His intense acting skills and dedication makes him the best fit to portray Lord Rama's determination and unwavering faith.

Sidharth Malhotra

Sidharth Malhotra's rugged charm and impressive screen presence make him a contender for the role of Lord Rama. His ability to balance action sequences with emotional depth could be instrumental in bringing the character to life.

Prabhas

While Prabhas may not have entirely captured the essence and magic of Lord Rama in Adipurush, he has the potential to excel in the role with the right script and direction. Take examples from his Baahubali franchise; you would have seen it and liked Prabhas in the film, for sure. It didn't work in Om Raut's Adipurush, but we can't deny that Prabhas' towering presence and dedication to his characters make him a valuable candidate.

Playing the role Lord Rama is a significant responsibility as it requires embodying a character deeply rooted in the hearts and beliefs of millions. The role demands not only strong acting skills but also a deep understanding of the character's values and virtues. While we eagerly await Ranbir Kapoor's portrayal of the divine character, these actors represent a diverse array of talent that could successfully bring this iconic character to life on-screen.
