Co-Star Praise and Times Square Tribute Boost Buzz for Tiwari’s Ramayana

The two-part epic starring Ranbir Kapoor is in post-production following a mixed first teaser.

Overview

  • Surabhi Das, in interviews published Monday, said Ranbir Kapoor “looked like Rama” on set and stayed in character between takes.
  • Ravie Dubey described Kapoor as quiet, graceful, and deeply committed, adding that he remained calm and focused during the shoot.
  • Fans put Dubey’s Lakshman look on a Times Square billboard, and the actor said he was “honestly overwhelmed” as he thanked supporters on Instagram.
  • The first glimpse released earlier this month for Hanuman Jayanti drew big attention and some criticism of half-finished VFX and demon designs, and the makers said they are listening and refining the film in post.
  • Ramayana is a two-part production directed by Nitesh Tiwari, with Part 1 set for Diwali 2026 and Part 2 for Diwali 2027, a reported ₹4,000 crore budget, VFX by DNEG, and a score by Hans Zimmer with A. R. Rahman.
