On September 30, Sony Pictures released the official poster for the upcoming Hindi-language epic, Ramayana: Rise of a Legend. The two-part adaptation, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, stars Ranbir Kapoor as Prince Rama, Yash as the villainous Ravana, and Sai Pallavi as Sita. Scheduled for release in Malaysia on November 5, the film will be shown in IMAX and other premium large formats.
Based on the ancient Indian epic Ramayana, the story follows Prince Rama's life and adventures, with the Sanskrit text attributed to sage Valmiki. Initially planned as a trilogy, the project was later condensed into a two-part film series under Tiwari’s direction. With an estimated budget of ₹4,000 crore, the film is considered one of the most expensive Indian productions.
The first trailer unveiled a reimagined Pushpak Vimana, a flying chariot from the epic, along with battle sequences and Rama’s exile. Co-written by Tiwari and Shridhar Raghavan, the screenplay was brought to life by Namit Malhotra, the founder of visual effects company DNEG, responsible for films like The Odyssey, Dune, Interstellar, and Inception.
The epic will also be presented in 3D. Composer Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman contributed to the film’s score. Tiwari, known for Dangal, a 2016 sports drama starring Aamir Khan, directed Ramayana: Rise of a Legend. The film is set to screen worldwide in multiple languages, including English and Tamil, with screenings planned for Malaysia coinciding with the Diwali period.
