A Star-Studded Cast and Crew
Ramayana boasts an impressive cast, headlined by Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and Sai Pallavi. The film is envisioned as a global cinematic spectacle, set to be released in multiple languages, including a premium English-language version. The project aims to introduce one of India’s most celebrated epics to diverse audiences while maintaining its core themes of duty, courage, compassion, sacrifice, and righteousness.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film brings together a talented international crew. The music is composed by Academy Award winners Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman, while action choreography is handled by Terry Notary and Guy Norris. The production design is a collaborative effort by Ramsey Avery and Ravi Bansal.
