Nitesh Tiwari's directed magnum opus Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and Sai Pallavi in pivotal roles, grabbed headlines after the film's title announcement video was officially certified by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with an 'U' certificate. Now, as per a recent report, Ranbir as Lord Ram and Yash as Ravana will share limited screen time as the makers wanted to stay true to the original Valmiki text.
According to a report in Zee News, a source shared, 'The makers have chosen to stay true to the original Valmiki text, where Lord Ram and Ravana do not encounter each other through most of the epic. Their worlds remain apart, their stories unfolding in parallel until destiny brings them face-to-face in the climactic battle.'
The source further added, 'As per the original narrative, Ram learns of Ravana's existence only after Sita's abduction, and the two never meet until the battlefield confrontation in Lanka.'
While there haven't been any official announcements of the cast, reports and set leaks have confirmed that Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and Sai Pallavi are in the role of Lord Ram, Sita and Ravana respectively.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Yash confirmed his role as Ravana and called it the most 'fascinating' role he could have played. He also shared that he is the co-producer of the movies, and he aims to take it globally.
Earlier, a source close to the development told Pinkvilla, 'Yash will be shooting for his part in Ramayana for almost a month, which includes portions of part one and also some bits of part two.' The source further added that he has begun filming his solo scenes and will soon shoot with Sai Pallavi and Ranbir Kapoor. Sunny Deol, who is also a part of the film, will begin shooting from June this year.
For the unversed, Ramayana: Part One is all set to hit the theaters during the Diwali 2026 weekend and Ramayana: Part Two is set for a Diwali 2027 release.

The first glimpse of the film Ramayana has already heightened the excitement among audiences. The first part of the film is set to release on Diwali next year. The music is being composed by Oscar-winning composers Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman. It has now been revealed that the songs are being written by a renowned poet, who is also well known for reciting the Ram Katha. Who will be the lyricist of Ramayana songs? Ramayana is said to be India's most expensive film, with Ranbir Kapoor playing the role of Lord Ram and superstar Yash portraying Ravana. Sunny Deol has expressed his happiness about playing the role of Lord Hanuman. Sai Pallavi will be seen as Maa Sita, while TV actor Ravi Dubey takes on the role of Lakshman. To add to the excitement, it's worth mentioning that renowned poet Kumar Vishwas is also associated with this grand project. Kumar Vishwas, who has written popular songs for films like Mission Raniganj, Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran, will also be writing the songs for Ramayana. His powerful song Hum Saath Chalen Toh Jeetenge from the film Mission Raniganj was sung by B Praak and Arko. The song became so popular that it was frequently played at political events and cricket stadiums. Kumar Vishwas has also written songs Veer Bhagat Singh. In addition to speaking on socio-political issues on stage, he often recites his poetry to audiences. He travels across India and abroad to participate in seminars and poetry events. Kumar Vishwas' Ram Katha recitation became so popular that it earned a place at a prestigious event like Maha Kumbh 2025. Through Apne Apne Ram, he spread the timeless story of Lord Ram across the world. Born on February 10, 1970, Kumar Vishwas also contested the 2014 Lok Sabha elections as an AAP candidate from Amethi. In addition to being a renowned poet, he has appeared as a guest on several television shows, including The Kapil Sharma Show, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, and Indian Idol.

Kajol Felt 'Helpless' During Ajay Devgn And Yash Raj Films Clash Over Son Of Sardaar: 'Fights Are Always...'

Last Updated: Kajol opens up about the emotional toll of being caught between Ajay Devgn and Aditya Chopra during the Son of Sardaar vs Jab Tak Hai Jaan clash. Kajol has opened up about the emotional conflict she experienced during the highly publicized clash between Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar and Yash Raj Films' Jab Tak Hai Jaan back in 2012. In a candid conversation with The Lallantop, the actress reflected on being caught between two people she deeply cares about—her husband, Ajay Devgn, and longtime friend Aditya Chopra. When asked about how she dealt with the controversy, Kajol admitted it was emotionally taxing. 'Fights are always difficult, especially when they remain unresolved for some time. At that point, when you have a situation like that in front of you, both parties were standing for themselves," she said. She went on to describe how torn she felt during that period. 'As somebody who was connected to both sides, I felt helpless. You have to wait for time to pass, so that the feelings subside. So that things can become ok again." Taking a philosophical view of the situation, Kajol added, 'Change is change, it is neither good nor bad. It is written somewhere that change is eternal. It is the only thing which is constant." The clash stemmed from a complaint filed by Ajay Devgn's production house—then Ajay Devgn FFilms—with the Competition Commission of India (CCI). The complaint alleged that Yash Raj Films had misused its dominant position in the market by securing maximum screens for Jab Tak Hai Jaan, thereby limiting screen space for Son of Sardaar, which was scheduled for the same Diwali release. While both films eventually released and performed well, the behind-the-scenes friction was widely reported and marked a rare moment of open tension between major Bollywood camps. On the work front, Kajol was recently seen in Maa, a mythological horror film directed by Vishal Furia and co-produced by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande. Released on June 27, the film marked her return to the horror genre. She will next be seen in the action-thriller Sarzameen, which also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran and Ibrahim Ali Khan. The film is set to stream on JioHotstar from July 25. First Published: July 06, 2025, 15:19 IST

Ranbir Kapoor to play triple role in Ramayana? He will be portraying the role of Lord Ram and...

Ranbir Kapoor to play triple role in Ramayana? He will be portraying the role of Lord Ram and... Ever since Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana' video announcements have come out, fans are counting the days until they can see Ranbir Kapoor portraying the role of Lord Ram. The 3 video announcement came out on 3rd July with just 7 seconds of actual footage from the film. While the glimpse duration was too less to draw any firm conclusion, fans are convinced that Ranbir Kapoor will again be swooning them away with his impeccable performance. Besides this, another report of him portraying 3 different mythological roles is doing the rounds. Ranbir Kapoor's Role in Ramayana As per a previous report, Ranbir was never supposed to play only the role of Lord Ram. Sources suggest that he was also approached to play the role of Maharishi Parashurama, who is a warrior who confronts Ram during Sita's Swayam Vara. As per the original story, Parashurama is upset that Ram has broken Lord Shiva's bow. So, he challenges him to aim an arrow at Lord Vishnu's bow. When Lord Rama does this too, then Parashurama realises that he is standing in front of the avatar of Lord Vishnu himself. Ranbir will be seen portraying this intense encounter from both sides, with the same face yet a completely different persona. According to sources, the makers have spent enough money and done immense work on Ranbir's look as Parashurama so he looks unrecognisable. The transformation is so radical that even the crew member couldn't easily identify. Ranbir Kapoor's Triple Role Besides this, speculations of Ranbir's triple role have also started making waves. As per the reports, the teaser suggests in the opening shot of the teaser, Vishnu's face resembles Ranbir, suggesting theories that he will also be playing the role of Vishnu. While neither Nitesh Tiwari nor any producer has confirmed these rumours, social media is convinced that Ranbir Kapoor would be playing triple role in this film. With a lavish budget, these 2 part films' high ambition is made on Rs 835 crores and Rs 700 crores respectively. With this staggering budget, larger-than-life visuals, and international VFX, Ramayana is all set to redefine Indian filmmaking.
