Ranbir Kapoor's recent unveiling as Lord Rama in Nitesh Tiwari's film 'Ramayana' highlights a significant family legacy, as his great-grandfather, Prithviraj Kapoor, played the same role in the 1934 Bengali film 'Seeta.' Directed by Devaki Bose, 'Seeta' was notable for being the first Indian talkie featured at an international film festival, receiving an honorary diploma at the 2nd Venice International Film Festival in 1934. The upcoming film 'Ramayana,' which boasts a staggering budget of ₹4,000 crore (approximately $480 million USD), is set to release on Diwali 2026. The film promises to showcase Ranbir Kapoor's portrayal of Lord Rama, including scenes from his coronation to his exile in the forest of Panchavati. Alongside Ranbir, the film features a star-studded cast including Sai Pallavi, Ravi Dubey, Yash, and Sunny Deol, with music composed by A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer collaborating for the first time.
