Nitesh Tiwari’s directorial vision brings Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Yash as the charismatic Ravana, and Sai Pallavi as the ethereal Sita to life. The ensemble is topped with Sunny Deol as the ever‑devoted Hanuman and Lara Dutta as the regal Kaikeyi, setting the stage for a star‑packed battlefield.
The film opened its world premiere at Los Angeles’s David Geffen Theatre on October 27, a nod to its global ambition.
