The actor added, “If I can portray Shri Ram even a little as you did, I would feel that my hard work has paid off. Bachpan se sir Bhagwan Shri Ram ka aashirwad, unki seekh aur aapka chehra apne dil mein rakh kar bada hua hoon (Since childhood, I have asked for Lord Rama’s blessings, his teachings, and kept your face in my heart). We love you like you are our own, and thank you for everything!”

Sai Pallavi On Playing Sita Maa

Sai Pallavi expressed her gratitude to the team for helping her portray this iconic role. “I’ll speak in Hindi, but if I make a mistake, please forgive me (smiles). It’s not easy for actors to get roles like this because it’s a challenge to essay a goddess on screen. There should be a team that can put their heart and soul into presenting their best version to the world. Only then does it become itihaas for everyone. Hence, thank you for selecting me for such a prestigious project.”

Yash also spoke about the grand vision of Ramayana, with Sunny Deol making a surprise appearance. Yash described his character of Hanuman as ‘natkhat,’ saying his journey has just begun, with a bigger role in part 2.

Namit Malhotra: Taking Ramayana To The World

Namit Malhotra discussed how making Ramayana has been a decade-long journey. “The Ramayana is one of the greatest stories ever told, not because of its scale, but because of the timeless values it represents. As a filmmaker, I never felt the responsibility to make it universal; it already is. My responsibility has been to approach it with complete honesty, authenticity, and reverence. Every creative decision – from the writing and performances to production design, music, visual effects, and every frame – has been guided by one goal: to honour this extraordinary legacy with the dignity and respect it deserves, while presenting it through the finest cinematic craftsmanship possible.”

Yash Responds To Ramayana VFX Criticism

Addressing the VFX controversies, Yash—who is also co-producing the epic—said during an appearance on Muse TV’s YouTube channel, “See, that’s where I think DNEG comes in,” he laughed. “Namit, my producing partner, brings that expertise. The photorealistic visuals you’re talking about… it’s still a work in progress. I’m sure it will be even better in the final version. We’re really aiming for top-notch quality.”

When asked if he had seen a final cut of Ramayana, Yash revealed he had seen a “decent version” of the film. “We’re on it, but till the last minute, we’ll try to improve it. So, we’ve seen quite a decent version, we can say. But we’re on it. It’s exciting to put it together, believe in something, and see it on the big screen. At the end of the day, all producers and actors do it for themselves as well.”

About The Ramayana Franchise

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana is a two-part mythological epic inspired by Valmiki’s ancient Sanskrit epic. The story spans two films, depicting Lord Rama’s journey from prince of Ayodhya to dharma’s upholder. The first part covers Rama’s early life, his marriage to Sita, and his 14-year exile with Sita and Lakshmana after palace politics deny him the throne.

The second part is expected to begin with Ravana’s kidnapping of Sita, leading Rama to forge alliances with Sugriva and Hanuman before engaging in a monumental battle against the demon king in Lanka. Ranbir Kapoor stars as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshmana. The cast also includes Lara Dutta, Rakul Preet Singh, Kajal Aggarwal, and Vivek Oberoi.

The film’s music is being composed by Academy Award winners A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer. The team will now head to San Diego Comic-Con 2026 for the global promotional campaign.
