The film 'Ramayana' has become one of the most anticipated projects of the year and will be shown worldwide. Producer Namit Malhotra has partnered with Sony Pictures to ensure a massive global release. As part of the film's promotion, a new trailer featuring numerous fresh visuals was released on October 15th.
The film is currently undergoing an active marketing campaign, and a supplementary video has recently appeared. On Wednesday, the 17th, around three in the morning, the official 'Ramayana' account on X published a video featuring Namit Malhotra, Ranbir Kapoor, and director Nitish Tiwari. They discussed the global vision and scale of their project.
This new clip includes scenes different from those presented in the main trailer. For instance, moments of Mother Sita's battle were shown for the first time. Although Lord Rama fought against 14 thousand demons, Sita was also involved in this scene, which was demonstrated. Furthermore, viewers can see her teaching young girls martial arts in Mithila.
The new video also features scenes involving Lord Rama. In an early teaser released several months ago, a demon was shown that drew criticism from the public because his appearance did not conform to Indian canons. In this video, that scene has been completely changed. Scenes of Ravana's battle in the city of Kubera and his subsequent Tandava dance by Shiva are also included.
In the video, Ranbir stated that they are making every effort to tell the story of 'Ramayana' as accurately and qualitatively as possible. Subsequently, Namit Malhotra shared his thoughts on the plot, emphasizing that it contains everything that makes it grand and majestic, and that this story has something for every person. Director Nitish Tiwari agreed with him, noting that anyone can find a connection with the story of 'Ramayana' because it tells of father-son love, a beautiful romantic tale, and the triumph of the underdog.
Speaking about creating such a large-scale project, Namit Malhotra mentioned that when he had this opportunity, he felt the need to realize it. In his opinion, some films just happen rather than being created. Ranbir highly praised Namit for bringing a level of technology, scale, and talent attraction to the Bollywood industry that is rarely seen here. The producer reported that about 10,000 people from around the world are working on the film 'Ramayana'. Director Nitish expressed full confidence in Namit's company, DNEG, regarding the creation of a film of such colossal scale.
Finally, Namit shared that he founded his company 30 years ago in a garage, and today they await the moment when they can create a project of the 'Ramayana' level after the company won eight Oscars. He mentioned all the major talents who will help make this dream come true. The film 'Ramayana' is set for a global release on November 5th.
