The upcoming film 'Ramayana', directed by Nitesh Tiwari, is generating excitement as it prepares for its Diwali 2026 release. Anurag Basu, a fellow director, has praised Ranbir Kapoor's portrayal of Lord Rama, stating that he has 'amazingly nailed it'. Basu highlighted the courage it takes for actors to step into such iconic roles, especially in an industry that often confines them to specific types. Ranbir Kapoor, reflecting on his role, emphasized his intent to learn from the character rather than merely represent him, acknowledging the simplicity and purity of Rama. The film features a diverse cast, including Sai Pallavi as Sita and Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and aims to blend traditional Indian storytelling with international cinematic techniques, including music from renowned composers Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman. The narrative will follow Rama's journey alongside Sita and Lakshman, leading to a grand cosmic conflict central to the epic's themes. The first part of 'Ramayana' is expected to captivate audiences globally, with its sequel slated for release in 2027.
