Harish Uthaman Tackles Vibhishana's Moral Dilemma

Harish Uthaman, a renowned actor in South Indian cinema, is making his foray into Hindi films with the upcoming epic 'Ramayana'. He is set to portray Vibhishana, the brother of Ravana, in a cast that includes Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash.

In a recent interview, Uthaman shared that his first reaction to being offered the role of Vibhishana was one of excitement about joining the 'Ramayana' project. He expressed a desire to delve deeper into the character's background.

The actor found the most challenging aspect of playing Vibhishana to be the internal conflict associated with his character's decision to leave his family and kingdom. This marked a significant shift in Vibhishana's alignment from Adharma to Dharma.

Uthaman explained that preparing for this mindset, rather than the on-screen performance itself, was the most demanding part. He emphasized the collaborative nature of filmmaking, where director's insights shape the character.

'Ramayana' is scheduled to be released in two parts. The first film is slated for a worldwide release in November 2026, preceding Diwali, while the second part is expected to hit theaters for Diwali 2027.
