How I became RK’s mother

Indira Krishnan and Ranbir Kapoor

Looks like Indira Krishnan is realising the power of manifestation. The actor recently opened up about how her wish to play Ranbir Kapoor’s mother on screen came true through Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming epic, Ramayana. Indira plays Kaushalya, mother to RK’s Lord Ram. In a recent podcast, she shared in that her experience of working with Ranbir in Animal (2023), where she played Rashmika Mandanna’s mother, was so good that she had desired to play his mother in a film. More than a year later, she came on board for Ramayana, unaware that Ranbir was also part of it. She was told later that it was RK, who recommended her for the role. Indira shared that Ranbir then remarked that he had remembered her wish.
