Director Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming film adaptation of the Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash, aims to present Ravana as a benevolent king rather than a mere villain. In a recent interview, Tiwari highlighted Ravana's multifaceted character, noting his qualities as a warrior, musician, scholar, and devotee of Shiva. He believes it is crucial to showcase these aspects to impart a significant lesson about the dangers of being driven by vengeance and ego. Tiwari also mentioned that the film will focus on the emotional core of the story, promising a unique visual representation of Lanka and Ayodhya. The film, produced by Namit Malhotra through Prime Focus Studios and Yash's Monster Mind Creations, is set to be released in two parts during Diwali in 2026 and 2027. The musical score will be composed by renowned artists Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman.
