Does anyone else feel Ranbir Kapoor wasn't the right choice for Ram in Ramayana?

I don't know if it's just me, but I have a hard time seeing Ranbir Kapoor as Ram in the upcoming Ramayana.

Maybe it's because we've already seen him in so many roles, but I feel like we all have some kind of preconceived image of him. Personally, I also find his expressions and face a bit funny at times, so it's hard for me to completely separate that from the character.

I honestly think a relatively unknown or debut actor could have worked better. Someone we don't already associate with other characters or movies might have made it easier for the audience to see him as Ram.

I'm also curious about the massive budget. Is it really justified? I'm optimistic about Bollywood trying something this ambitious, but I keep wondering how they're going to make the movie engaging when everyone already knows the story of the Ramayana.

Apart from massive VFX, huge sets, and giant demons, what will make this version stand out?

Maybe they'll surprise me, but I'm still not convinced about the casting or the approach.
