Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi's Ramayana First Look Will Be Out Soon
Ramayana First Look Release Date: Fans are in for the biggest cinematic treat of the year as the makers of Ramayana are set to drop the first look of the mythological film today, July 3. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Yash as Ravan, Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Sai Pallavi as Sita has had fans buzzing with excitement even before its official announcement. As fans eagerly await more updates about the most anticipated project, Ramayana's team is making sure that the excitement remains intact, thereby dropping a three-minute preview today.
Along with Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol and Yash, Ramayana features an impressive star cast. It includes Ravie Dubey as Laxman, whereas Lara Dutta takes on the role of Kaikeyi. Rakul Preet Singh as Surpanakha and Kajal Aggarwal as Mandodari will also join the cast for the added excitement.
Till now, most of the cast members have remained silent about their roles in the film. However, Yash, who also donned the hat of the producer for the film, previously spoke to The Hollywood Reporter India about playing Ravan, the antagonist of the epic. He said, 'It's a very fascinating character. I wouldn't have done it for any other reason. In Ramayana, if you had asked me 'Would you play any other character?' Probably not. For me, Ravan is the most exciting character to play as an actor so I really like the shades and the nuances of the particular character. There's a vast scope to present it in a very different way. As an actor, I am very excited. Hopefully, it's going to be a very unique approach to it."
Budget And Release Date Of Ramayana
Earlier, Bollywood Hungama reported that the film is being made on a budget of Rs 835 crore, the most expensive Indian film to date. Before the mythological epic, Adipurush held the record for being the most expensive film. The total expenditure of the film was around Rs 500 crore. The film did not fare well at the box office and was severely criticised for its VFX. It starred Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan in lead roles.
Ramayana will be a two-part film. While the first part is slated to release in theatres on Diwali 2026, the second part will make it to theatres in Diwali 2027.

R Madhavan Opens Up On 'RHTDM' Toxic Label: 'Name One Actor Who Hasn't Played Such Role'
Last Updated: The 2001 cult film has faced flak over the years for portraying toxic masculinity through its lead character, Maddy. R Madhavan, who is currently promoting his upcoming film Aap Jaisa Koi alongside Fatima Sana Shaikh, recently addressed criticism surrounding his iconic romantic drama Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein (RHTDM). The 2001 cult film has faced flak over the years for portraying toxic masculinity through its lead character, Maddy. In a recent interview, Madhavan acknowledged the critique but urged viewers to consider the broader cinematic context. Speaking to HTCity, Madhavan said, 'If you look back at any Hindi film or film hero, you'll find that he is completely flawed. Because that's part of the way Indian culture has been represented. There's nobody, there's no actor in the Hindi film industry whose one film or the other is not toxic masculinity. Don't take only Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein; take any film before that. Any hero who has slapped a woman on the set or in the story is toxic." The Dhurandhar actor continued, 'Name one actor who has not done that or any actor who's abused a woman. So if you look at it in retrospect, then you're going to confuse yourself completely. What are the circumstances under which that guy fell in love?" Madhavan pointed out how, in earlier times, especially in small towns and villages, the lack of digital communication meant people met during social gatherings. He explained that if a man were to see a woman on a train and want to approach her with honest intentions, today's standards might label even innocent gestures as inappropriate. 'If he keeps a letter the woman gives, it is considered creepy," he noted, suggesting that the framework for interpreting such actions needs to evolve with time. The actor concluded with a thought-provoking remark: 'So, we have to change our understanding of what masculinity is right now." First Published:

R Madhavan defends Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein from misogyny debate: ‘Every Hindi film hero has slapped a woman on the set'
R Madhavan, who is currently promoting his upcoming film Aap Jaisa Koi alongside Fatima Sana Shaikh, has addressed the long-standing criticism around toxic masculinity in Hindi films. The actor also responded to the continued discourse surrounding his cult classic Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein (RHTDM), which in recent years has been called out for promoting problematic male behaviour. In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Madhavan shared his thoughts on the portrayal of flawed male characters and urged audiences to view older films within the social and cultural context in which they were made. 'Every Hindi film hero is flawed' 'If you look back at any Hindi film or film hero, you'll find that he is completely flawed,' Madhavan said. 'That's part of the way Indian culture has been represented. There's no actor in the Hindi film industry whose one film or the other is not toxic masculinity.' Using RHTDM as a reference point, he added, 'Don't take only Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein; take any film before that.

The Dhokha Round D Corner actor went on to reflect on how older films mirrored the socio-cultural norms of the time. He spoke about a time before mobile phones, especially in rural settings, where social functions were often the only way men and women could meet. He added, 'If a guy sees a woman on a train and wants to approach her with noble intentions, what is the way to do that? If he keeps a letter she gave, it's considered creepy. So, we have to change our understanding of what masculinity is right now.' R Madhavan's Charming New Avatar Goes Viral Madhavan says perception of masculinity must evolve with time Concluding his thoughts, Madhavan acknowledged that masculinity, as a concept, has evolved and must continue to be redefined. However, he suggested that critiquing older characters through today's lens without considering the societal context may lead to oversimplified conclusions. Aap Jaisa Koi, his upcoming film with Fatima Sana Shaikh, reportedly explores themes like emotional abuse, gender roles, and how masculinity manifests in relationships. The film is expected to bring a more layered and contemporary take on these complex issues.
