Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana is produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios in collaboration with DNEG and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations. The film features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Yash as Ravana and Sai Pallavi as Sita.

Adding to the film’s international appeal is its music, composed by legendary Hollywood composer Hans Zimmer and celebrated Indian composer A. R. Rahman. The makers are envisioning Ramayana as a two-part cinematic spectacle, combining Indian mythology with large-scale visual effects and a global filmmaking approach.
