Nitesh Tiwari spills his passion for bringing Ramayana to life with Ranbir Kapoor

The audience is all geared up to witness the grand Ramayana movie, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram. This epic project, directed by Nitesh Tiwari (of Dangal fame), is finally in the works. While it’s not officially announced yet, rumors say Sai Pallavi will play Sita and KGF’s Yash will be Raavan.

Tiwari recently shared some exciting details about his vision. He’s confident that the film will do justice to the epic thanks to advanced special effects. He even hinted that this Ramayana will be told in a way “it deserves to be told,” making some wonder if he’s referring to the classic TV series.

Speaking to Rajeev Masand, Nitesh Tiwari said, “One of the big reasons why I chose to do it, apart from a lot of other reasons which compelled me and made me want to do this film is a big reassurance is the capabilities of VFX have gone many folds. Our oldest memories, or the earliest memories, are still 30 years old. We really haven’t seen Ramayana in the form it deserves to be told. Also, when I saw the kind of work that Ravi Udyawar (filmmaker) has put in is creating a world for Ramayana – I came on board a little later – by the time he had already put in a lot of work”.

“When I saw that world, it kind of knew me. And when you have your partners from the producer side who are equally passionate and are willing to go all the way to create and enable you to be able to create to tell your story in that world. So you have a story that is fantastic belief in our culture, and you have a very interesting way of executing it, and you’ve people who are backing you, these things make it extremely exciting to be a part of the story, and I consider myself very lucky,” said Nitesh Tiwari further.

So, buckle up for a spectacular retelling of Ramayana with top stars and cutting-edge technology. It’s definitely one to watch out for!
