An epic of cosmic proportions is on the horizon as Ramayana: Rise of A Legend arrives in cinemas.
Ramayana is one of India’s greatest epics, which tells the story of Rama, a prince bound by sacrifice; Ravana, an immortal king driven by vengeance; and the prophecy that binds their fates together. The film features an ensemble cast, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Rama and Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravie Dubey as Lakshman, and Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman.
The film is produced by Namit Malhotra, whose Academy Award®-winning visual effects company DNEG is behind films including The Odyssey, Dune, Interstellar, and Inception. It is directed by Nitesh Tiwari, whose film Dangal remains the highest-grossing Indian film worldwide, with screenplay by Shridhar Raghavan, who is known for his work in Hindi films. The film also features a musical score collaboration with Academy Award® winners Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman.
Ramayana: Rise of a Legend will be released globally in theaters in time for Diwali on November 5.
