Actor Ranbir Kapoor recently introduced his upcoming mythological film Ramayana at a special event in Los Angeles, alongside director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra. The team unveiled exclusive footage from the highly anticipated project to an international audience, building excitement ahead of its release.
During the event, the trio also participated in a Q&A session, where they discussed the film's vision, characters, and the challenges of bringing a revered epic to the big screen. Several clips and images from the screening have since circulated on social media, giving fans a glimpse into the scale and ambition of the production.
Speaking about his role, Ranbir Kapoor reflected on portraying Lord Rama, describing the character as deeply relevant today. He referred to Lord Rama as a 'conscience keeper of a billion,' emphasizing the enduring influence of the figure across generations.
Kapoor elaborated on the qualities associated with Rama, highlighting compassion, courage, righteousness, and forgiveness. He also used the term “Maryada Purushottam,” which signifies the ideal man, to explain the character’s moral and philosophical significance. According to the actor, these values continue to guide people through life’s challenges and adversities.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana is one of the most anticipated Indian films in recent years. The project aims to present the ancient epic on a grand cinematic scale, blending storytelling with cutting-edge visual effects. Earlier glimpses of the film showcased a striking contrast between Kapoor’s calm and composed Rama and Yash’s intense portrayal of Ravana.
The film features a strong ensemble cast, including Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, and Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman. The project also brings together two globally renowned composers, Hans Zimmer and A. R. Rahman, promising a powerful musical experience.
Ramayana is planned as a two-part cinematic saga. The first installment is scheduled for a worldwide release in October 2026, timed around the Diwali holiday season, with the second part expected to follow in 2027.
