Ranbir's Ramayana: India Flew 5,000 Years Ago!

The highly anticipated film 'Ramayana,' directed by Nitesh Tiwari, is nearing its November 5 release date, with its cast actively promoting the movie. During a recent interview, lead actor Ranbir Kapoor drew a fascinating comparison between modern inventions and ancient Indian technology. Kapoor remarked on the advanced weaponry of ancient India, humorously suggesting that if Elon Musk has invented a flying car now, India had achieved similar feats with the Pushpaka Vimana 5,000 years ago.

The Pushpaka Vimana is a significant element from the Hindu epic 'Ramayana,' described as a mythical self-propelled aerial chariot or a flying palace. According to mythology, this grand flying structure was originally built by celestial architect Vishwakarma for Lord Brahma, gifted to Kubera, and later seized by Ravana. The epic details the Vimana as capable of traveling at immense speeds and accommodating a vast number of passengers.

Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana' is presented as a two-part cinematic adaptation of the ancient Indian epic. Ranbir Kapoor takes on the role of Lord Rama, with Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash portraying Ravana. The ensemble cast also includes Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman. The film is produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash, with a musical score by AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer. The first installment is slated for a theatrical debut on November 5, timed perfectly with the Diwali festival.
