During a promotional event for the highly anticipated film Ramayana in Los Angeles, Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor was left touched by a creative gesture from a fan. Designer Shashank Gupta presented the actor with a bespoke maroon jacket that featured intricate gold embroidery and a detailed depiction of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir.
The highlight of the garment, which has since gone viral on social media, is a beautifully crafted figure of Lord Ram woven onto the back of the vest. In a video capturing the moment, Ranbir is seen unboxing the gift and genuinely admiring the craftsmanship, calling the piece “gorgeous.” The interaction served as a heartwarming highlight amidst the high-profile teaser launch event.

The film boasts an expansive star-studded cast including Sai Pallavi, Yash, Sunny Deol, Ravie Dubey, and Lara Dutta. The production is envisioned as a grand two-part saga, with the first installment currently scheduled to hit theaters during the Diwali 2026 festival season.
