He shared a video that shows various snaps of Ranbir Kapoor undergoing the rigorous prosthetics process as he takes on the avatar of Parashurama.
The caption read, "Prosthetics for Parasuram, Part One. I'm the lucky one! Because my favourite art and my favourite artist came together in one moment. Not everyone gets to experience that, and I feel truly blessed to be one of them."
Who is Parashurama in mythology?
Parashurama, also referred to as Rama Jamadagni, Bhargava Rama, and Virarama, is the sixth avatar among the Dashavatara of the preserver god Vishnu in Hinduism.
He is described as one of the Chiranjivi (immortals), who will appear at the end of the Kali Yuga to be the guru of Vishnu's tenth and final incarnation, Kalki.
In the Ramayana, he challenges Rama to combat during the latter's homeward journey to Ayodhya after Rama's wedding to Sita. He later acknowledges Rama as an avatar of Vishnu and retires to his abode to perform yoga.
In the Mahabharata, he was the guru of Bhishma, Drona, Rukmi, and Karna.
