Ramayana's Values: Ranbir Kapoor Connects With Students

Ranbir Kapoor, director Nitesh Tiwari, and actor Ravie Dubey recently participated in a special conversation with students about the timeless values and characters of the Ramayana. The initiative, titled 'Har Yug Mein Ram: A Conversation with Young Leaders,' brought together approximately 20,000 students from more than 500 schools across 18 cities.

The special episode is set to stream exclusively on JioHotstar starting November 1. This event aimed to explore how the epic's core themes, such as duty, courage, friendship, love, forgiveness, and sacrifice, continue to resonate with a younger generation.

Ranbir Kapoor, who is set to portray Lord Rama in the upcoming film 'Ramayana: Part One,' found the interaction insightful. He noted that hearing young minds interpret the epic offered new perspectives on the character and its familiar themes. Producer Namit Malhotra emphasized the importance of helping youth develop their own understanding of the epic's values.

Director Nitesh Tiwari highlighted that the Ramayana's appeal lies in its blend of grand events and the deeply human choices its characters make. Ravie Dubey, playing Lakshman, discussed the loyalty and duty central to Lakshman's relationship with Rama. The film 'Ramayana: Part One' is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on November 5, 2026.

Meanwhile, the 'Har Yug Mein Ram' conversation episode premieres on JioHotstar on November 1, extending the discussion on the epic's relevance to a broad audience.
