The air on KBC 18 was thick with nostalgia when Ranbir Kapoor tossed a story about the day Bachchan walked into a set, turning a simple shoot into a living spectacle.
He recalls the Ajooba shoot, the way Bachchan's glare seemed to light up a whole room, a phenomenon he later dubbed "aura farming"—a term that even Gen‑Z fans now use.
Meanwhile, the epic Ramayana drew a glittering crowd in LA, where stars like Yash, Sai Pallavi, and Ranbir himself sat beside director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra.
Malhotra, in a tight‑lipped interview, said the film’s ₹4,000‑crore ($500 million) budget makes it the world’s biggest budgeted epic, with Part 1 hitting screens on November 5, 2026, just in time for Diwali.
So, keep your eyes peeled for Part 2 in Diwali 2027, and maybe a few more stories of how legends like Bachchan still fuel the dreams of a new generation.
