Ramayana teaser: 'Interstellar' fame Hans Zimmer joins AR Rahman for music
The announcement video opens with a powerful portrayal of the cosmic trinity — Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva — the divine forces that keep the universe in balance. It then builds up to the central conflict of the epic: the legendary clash between Rama and Ravana, symbolising the eternal battle between good and evil. Framed as the ultimate war to restore harmony, it sets the tone for a grand and timeless tale.
Collaboration music of Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman in Ramayana
Known for his stirring and emotional music, Hans Zimmer has composed iconic soundtracks for films such as Gladiator, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Inception, The Lion King, and Interstellar. His soundtrack for Interstellar is notable for its profound, spiritual vibe, which complements the epic and poignant Ramayana tale. The film's soundtrack is anticipated to resonate with viewers worldwide thanks to AR Rahman's Indian classical influence and Zimmer's cinematic tone.
The lyrical profundity and deeply ingrained Indian spiritual energy are brought by Rahman, the Oscar and Grammy-winning Indian filmmaker behind films like Slumdog Millionaire, Lagaan, and Dil Se.
The two legendary musicians are anticipated to collaborate on a soundtrack that redefines cinematic music for Indian epics while also bridging East and West.
