4 Aug
Summary
- Rakul Preet Singh portrays Surpanakha in the upcoming Ramayana film.
- The film is set to release in two parts during Diwali 2026 and 2027.
- Ranbir Kapoor stars as Ram, with Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana.
Nitesh Tiwari's "Ramayana" adaptation is generating significant anticipation, with its first installment scheduled for a Diwali 2026 release. The film's ensemble cast features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash portraying the formidable Ravana. Rakul Preet Singh's portrayal of Surpanakha has particularly captured attention, with the actor expressing her fascination with the character's depth beyond her infamous role in the epic conflict.
Singh explained that the complexity of Surpanakha attracted her to the role, stating that history often simplifies her story to a single event. She aims to present a more nuanced depiction for audiences to discover with an open mind. The epic's central conflict is ignited by Surpanakha's actions after her advances towards Lord Ram are spurned, leading to her disfigurement by Lakshman and subsequent instigation of the war.
The "Ramayana" adaptation is planned as a two-part cinematic event, with Part Two set to release in Diwali 2027. The supporting cast includes Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman, Ravie Dubey as Lakshman, Arun Govil as King Dasharath, and Lara Dutta as Queen Kaikeyi, promising a grand spectacle.
