Nitesh Tiwari is grabbing headlines with his much-awaited upcoming film Ramayana, featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash in the lead roles. According to recent reports, Amitabh Bachchan will play an integral role in the magnum opus- not just as a character but as a narrator.
An insider told Midday, “We’re exploring the idea of having Bachchan as the sutradhar. His voice adds gravitas that no one else can match. The makers are keen that the film opens with his voice. It’s still at the discussion stage. While the clash is a concern, there will be ways to work it out on a creative level. Having him open the film and be the spiritual narrator will have a strong impact.” The actor will be doing the voiceover for the character of Jatayu.
Helmed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana boasts a stellar cast with Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman and Sunny Deol as Hanuman. Bankrolled by Madhu Mantena and Allu Aravind, Ramayana is expected to be one of the most magnificent projects ever made in India(BHARAT)n cinema.
On July 3rd, 2025, the makers unveiled the first looks of Ranbir, Sai Pallavi and Yash from the highly-anticipated project. “Ten years of Aspiration. Relentless Conviction to bring the Greatest Epic of all time to the World. An outcome through a collaboration of some of the world’s best to ensure that Ramayana is presented with the greatest amount of Reverence and Respect. Welcome to the Beginning. Let’s Celebrate the IMMORTAL story of Rama v/s Ravana. Our Truth. Our History,” wrote the makers while sharing the first look on social media.
Talking about Ramayana, Nitesh Tiwari, director of the film said, “Ramayana is a story we’ve all grown up with. It carries the soul of our culture. Our aim was to honour that soul — and present it with the cinematic scale it truly deserves. As a filmmaker, it’s both a huge responsibility and a heartfelt honour to bring it to life. . It’s a tale that has endured across millennia because it speaks to something deep and eternal within us. We are not simply making a film. We are offering a vision — one rooted in reverence, shaped by excellence, and made to transcend borders.” Ramayana will be released worldwide: Part 1 in Diwali 2026 and Part 2 in Diwali 2027.
