Rama’s journey is deeply human, and that is what we have tried to stay true to.

Namit Malhotra, Producer, Film-maker and Creative Architect of Ramayana said, “The power of Rama’s story is not in what he conquers, but in what he lets go of. He represents a standard that is not easy, not convenient, but necessary. He chooses duty over desire, truth over comfort, and sacrifice over self. That is why his story has endured for thousands of years, and why it continues to matter today.”

Even Alia had praised the teaser of Ramayana and said during a virtual interaction with fans, “It’s absolutely fabulous. I think Ranbir has just done such a beautiful job, and I just can’t wait for you guys to see it. It’s just out of this world.”
