The makers of the long-awaited two-part Ramayana adaptation have officially revealed the title of the first instalment: 'Ramayana: Rise of a Legend'. The announcement, made on lead actor Ranbir Kapoor's birthday, also confirmed a worldwide release on November 6.
Until now, the project had largely been referred to as Ramayana: Part 1, with the makers yet to formally announce its subtitle. The new title arrives with a fresh poster that retains the previously revealed artwork — Ranbir as Lord Ram coming face to face with Yash as Ravana against a spectacular cosmic backdrop — now carrying the tagline, "Mankind's greatest story comes to life."
A 3D IMAX spectacle
The poster makes a prominent note of the film's visual artists, described as "from the visual artists who brought you The Odyssey and Dune." Sharing the poster on social media, the makers wrote: "From the visual artists behind The Odyssey and Dune comes RAMAYANA: RISE OF A LEGEND — the most immersive 3D cinematic experience ever — exclusively in theatres, in IMAX and Premium Large Formats worldwide November 6."
The film is being positioned as one of Indian cinema's biggest technical undertakings, with an IMAX release and premium large-format screens promised across the globe.
The cast and the plan
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, 'Ramayana: Rise of a Legend' stars Ranbir Kapoor as Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita, with Yash as the villain Ravana. The project is mounted as a two-part cinematic adaptation of the epic.
The first instalment is scheduled to arrive in theatres worldwide on November 6, releasing in Hindi and English, with the makers promising an immersive 3D experience across IMAX and premium large-format screens.
