About Ramayana
Ramayana is one of the most ambitious films in the history of Indian cinema. Producer Namit Malhotra has said that the two films have a combined budget of about ₹4,000 crore, making it the most expensive Indian film production by quite some distance. Helmed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and Yash as Ravana, alongside Sai Pallavi as Sita, Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman, and Ravie Dubey as Lakshmana. Adapted by award-winning screenwriter Shridhar Raghavan, Ramayana features music by Oscar-winning composers Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman. Ranbir also reflected on playing Lord Rama and said, “I don’t think I’m here to represent Rama. I’m here to learn from him. There is a simplicity and purity to him that is very rare, and trying to understand and imbibe that has been a deeply humbling experience.” ABOUT THE AUTHOR Riya Sharma Riya Sharma is a content producer at Hindustan Times who lives and breathes entertainment.
