Indira Krishna is getting praise for playing Mata Kaushalya in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Part 1, where she plays Ranbir Kapoor's mother. The two were also co-stars earlier in Animal, where she played Rashmika Mandanna's mother.
In an interview, she recalled the scene where Rama leaves for exile and said she did not use glycerine, so the tear fell exactly when Nitesh Tiwari wanted it. She said the emotion came from working with Ranbir and the atmosphere on set.
She described Kaushalya as a calm, confident queen who keeps her feelings hidden under the surface.
Ranbir Kapoor and Yash's Ramayana - Part I collected Rs 62.47 crore across all languages on its opening day, placing it fifth on the all-time list of biggest openings.
It narrowly missed fourth place, trailing Animal's Rs 63.80 crore by Rs 1.33 crore. Dhurandhar The Revenge still leads the chart with Rs 90 crore, followed by Jawan at Rs 75 crore and Pushpa 2 - The Rule at Rs 72 crore.
The film also edged past Drishyam The Conclusion's Rs 62 crore opening by Rs 47 lakh. Its opening weekend numbers will be the next thing to watch.
Actress Indira Krishnan has shared a warm note about the team behind Ramayana, which hit cinemas worldwide on November 5. Posting a photo from the first cast reading session, she said she has watched Ranbir Kapoor grow as an actor, from Animal to this film, and praised his character on and off camera. She also admired Sai Pallavi's gentle nature and spiritual mindset, and Rakul Preet Singh's work as Surpanakha. Indira thanked director Nitesh Tiwari for guiding her through an emotionally charged scene.
