A craftsman from Assam hand‑made between 30 and 35 armor sets for Ranbir Kapoor’s upcoming ‘Ramayana’ film, saying it brings pride to his village.
An artisan from the northeastern state of Assam has been commissioned to produce a set of traditional armour for the upcoming film starring Ranbir Kapoor, titled ‘Ramayana’. The craftsman reports that he has completed between thirty and thirty‑five individual pieces, each hand‑crafted to match the period look required by the production.
The armour, fashioned from metal and leather, reflects the intricate designs typical of ancient Indian warriors, and the artisan has adapted his village’s age‑old techniques to meet the film’s specifications. The pieces will be used to dress the lead actors and supporting cast in battle sequences.
Speaking about the project, the craftsman said the assignment brings great pride to his village, showcasing local skill on a national cinematic platform. He hopes the visibility will encourage more collaborations between Bollywood and traditional artisans from remote regions.
