Ramayana producer Namit Malhotra has expressed admiration for Ranbir Kapoor following his inclusion in the list of the 100 most influential people in the world.

The producer took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to congratulate the versatile actor for making the country proud.

Speaking highly of the Tamasha star, he wrote, "From watching our fathers share meals and laughter to now, four decades later, coming together to tell one of the greatest epics of all time... it's been quite a journey.

"I have witnessed your journey closely-the highs, the setbacks, the quiet resilience, and the way you've stayed so grounded through it all, both on and off screen."

In addition, Namit noted that nobody else could have done justice to the role of Lord Rama better than Ranbir:

He added, "There was never a doubt in my mind. There is no one better to portray Lord Rama. You are, without doubt, the finest actor of our generation. Being named among TIME's 100 Most Influential People of 2026 feels absolutely deserved. It's great to see the world finally take notice of you and your talent." 

For the unversed, Ramayana is slated for release in 2026 and 2027, respectively.
