Actress Ananya Panday recently shared her profound admiration for Nitesh Tiwari's mythological film, Ramayana, describing the experience as "blown away." The film, which features Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi, has garnered significant attention for its contemporary retelling of the ancient Indian epic.
Panday recounted how her childhood was filled with mythological stories shared by her mother and grandmother, fostering a lifelong fascination with the genre. This personal connection has sparked an interest in portraying mythological narratives on screen. She specifically mentioned Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's novel, "The Palace of Illusions," a retelling of the Mahabharata from Draupadi's perspective, as a favorite.
Speaking at the HT Leadership Summit, Panday emphasized her ambition to explore diverse acting roles without limiting herself to a single genre. She conveyed a desire to experience all facets of acting, including a particular enjoyment of comedic performances, which she finds "freeing," despite her real-life disposition. The first part of Ramayana was released on November 5, with the second part scheduled for a 2028 release.
