Ranbir Kapoor as Parshuram was

Parshuram already has a place behind Sham Sharma's chair. Pointing to a framed artwork, the host explains that the deity is the patron of his show, making this particular cameo review a little more personal than a casting verdict.

In "Ranbir Kapoor as Parshuram was", Sharma praises Kapoor's appearance and demeanor, saying he carries the role well. His reservation is specific: the voice doesn't achieve the depth and strength he thinks the actor was aiming for.

He then brings in footage of Puneet Issar playing Parshuram on television, highlighting the combination of voice, presence and physicality. It's a concrete illustration of what he feels is missing, rather than a rejection of Kapoor's performance. Sharma finishes with a strongly positive assessment of the cameo overall.

The Short reached roughly 356,000 views in its first sixteen hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for this format. It follows The Sham Sharma Show's longer Ramayana review, published the day before.

The comments extend the casting conversation: one viewer proposes Vicky Kaushal for the part, another wants a longer Parshuram appearance, and others recall older television portrayals. Issar's work as both Parshuram and Duryodhana gives one commenter a particularly clear point of reference.
