Actors Allu Arjun, Rishab Shetty and others speak out about the film 'Ramayana', calling it more than just a movie

Actor Allu Arjun urged viewers to support the film 'Ramayana: The Legend's Ascent'. He emphasized that this picture is something more than just a movie and thanked the crew in advance before the release scheduled for November 5th. Arjun described this large-scale project as an attempt to elevate the level of Indian cinema and present Indian culture.

Posting on the social network X (Twitter), Allu Arjun addressed the public with a call to unite and support the film. He wrote: 'My best wishes to the entire Ramayana team. This is not just a film; it is a presentation of our culture and an attempt to raise the standard of Indian films. I sincerely wish all the best to the entire team for this noble endeavor. Let us all support this magnificent attempt that reflects our stories, our culture, and our pride. Jai Shri Ram.'

Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal also expressed his enthusiasm for 'Ramayana'. He shared that his son brought home a statue of Lord Rama and named it his new favorite superhero. The actor highly praised the team for realizing this epic on such a grand scale. He noted that as an artist, he feels a sense of pride and eagerly awaits watching the film with his family.

He shared: 'Ram ji came into Rampal's house. My heart filled with pride and love when my son brought home the statue of Lord Rama and named him his new favorite superhero. Tomorrow the whole world will meet the new generation of Ramayana.'

Kannada actor Rishab Shetty wrote that watching old stories and culture come alive on such a grand scale is truly a special sight, and it is a moment of pride for Indian cinema.

These statements came amid widespread discussion of the film before its release. 'Ramayana', directed by Nitish Tiwari, was recently screened at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, where it received positive reviews. Ticket sales for the film are also gaining momentum. By Wednesday morning in India, pre-sales for the weekend opening had already generated about 100 crore rupees, of which approximately 33 crore came from premiere day sales.

Interestingly, the start of ticket sales in India took some time. Although global pre-sales began on Dussehra (October 15th), most cinemas in India delayed ticket sales. This was due to disagreements between the film distributors and theater owners regarding revenue sharing. While pre-sales started immediately abroad, Indian audiences had to wait almost five days until the release to book tickets in most theaters.

In this two-part film, based on the ancient Indian epic, the main roles are played by Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana. Sunny Deol plays the role of Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey was cast as Lakshmana. The film, produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash, features music by A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer. Thanks to the assembly of outstanding actors and the presentation of one of India's most famous epics in a new and majestic format, this project was prepared on a very large scale.

Sai Pallavi on Sita's role in 'Ramayana': She decided to embody the character through devotion, not intellect

Actress Sai Pallavi shared her thoughts on her upcoming role as Mother Sita in director Nitesh Tiwari's highly anticipated film 'Ramayana'. Her statements have attracted significant public attention.

When offered the role of Sita, she stated that she decided to portray this character not by relying on her intellect, but by leaning on prayer and devotion. The film 'Ramayana' is generating immense excitement among fans.

The project 'Ramayana' features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Mother Sita, Yash as Ravana, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshmana. In connection with her role, Sai Pallavi made a statement that is actively being discussed.

Recently, Sai Pallavi participated in Amitabh Bachchan's show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 18'. During the promotion of this show, 'Big B' asked her about her initial thoughts upon learning about the role of Mother Sita. Sai's answer proved to be quite unique.

She explained that usually, when taking on any role, she contemplates what new perspective she can bring to the character. However, after receiving the role of Mother Sita, her approach completely changed. The actress stated: 'I didn't want to use my brain.' She added that previously she always thought about what she could do for the character, but for the first time, she thought about what she would gain by playing the role of Mother Sita. These words clearly indicate that for her, this character is not just a movie role, but an exceptional experience.

Furthermore, Sai Pallavi mentioned that she did not wish to overthink the role, preferring to dedicate herself entirely to the experience. She said: 'I wanted to remain completely transparent. I didn't want to think about anything. I just prayed and said: Mother Sita, please play this role through me. That's it.' These words demonstrated her attitude towards the character: while artists meticulously prepare for a role, Sai prioritized prayer and self-dedication for the portrayal of Mother Sita.

The film 'Ramayana', directed by Nitesh Tiwari, aims to present the Indian epic in a new format on the big screen. In it, Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi plays Mother Sita, Yash plays Ravana, and Ravi Dubey plays Lakshmana. The story narrates the life of Lord Rama, his marriage to Mother Sita, and the fourteen-year exile. During the exile, Mother Sita and Lakshmana also go with him. The appearance of Ravana then leads the plot to a major turn. It is expected that the story of Mother Sita's abduction will be shown at the end of the first part of the film, after which the further struggle can be seen in the second part. The film is planned for release in two parts; the first part is scheduled to be released in international cinemas on November 5, 2026.

Another interesting detail about the cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Ravi Dubey will appear together with Amitabh Bachchan in a special episode of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 18' for Diwali. This episode will be broadcast on Sony TV and SonyLIV on October 29 and 30 at 9 PM.
