Kunal Kapoor’s 3-scene cameo as Devraj Indra in Nitesh Tiwari’s film “Ramayana” has gone viral on social media in Thailand. Since the film’s release, Thai audiences have been enamored with his regal style and appearance.
Thank you, @malhotra_namit @niteshtiwari22 for trusting me with Lord Indra and letting me be a small part of a vision this big.

And thank you @CastingChhabra for thinking of me and bringing me on board for this very special part.

The Ramayana is already widely popular in Thailand as “Ramakien.” After watching the film, Thai users are sharing screenshots of Kunal Kapoor’s scenes on Instagram and writing poems praising his “divine beauty,” and even demanding a standalone film based on him.
Kunal Kapoor appears in only 3 significant scenes in the entire film. In the first scene, he defeats the demon king Sumali, in the second he is defeated in battle by Ravana, who has received a boon from Brahma and in the third, a lengthy scene, he prays to Lord Vishnu to incarnate and slay Ravana. His grand entry aboard the white elephant ‘Airavat’ has been widely appreciated by the audience.
Responding to this outpouring of love from Thai fans and the invitation to visit the country, Kunal Kapoor took to social media and said that he loves Thailand very much, his sister’s family lives there and it is like a second home to him.
