'My first instinct was fear'
The makers of Kaun Banega Crorepati shared a new promotional clip from the episode. Talking about his role, Ranbir said, "When this role was offered to me, I knew that this isn't just a role; it is a big responsibility. My first instinct was fear: am I qualified enough to play this role? Whether I will be able to do this role? The faith of crores of people is linked to Lord Shri Ram. But very soon this fear turned into gratitude."
