The Los Angeles event marked a key milestone for one of Indian cinema’s most ambitious projects. With a select international audience in attendance, the screening offered a carefully curated first look at the mythological epic.
During a candid Q&A, Ranbir Kapoor opened up about the depth of his character, saying, “Lord Ram has been the conscience keeper of billions of people around the globe for centuries. He enlightens us about the triumph of human spirit. He stands for compassion, for courage, for righteousness and forgiveness, and is called Maryada Purushottam, which stands for an ideal man.”
His reflections added emotional weight to the already grand narrative, hinting at a story rooted in resilience and timeless values.
The film boasts an expansive ensemble. While Ranbir Kapoor embodies the composed and principled Rama, Yash is set to portray the formidable Ravana. Sai Pallavi takes on the role of Sita, alongside Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman.
Adding further scale to the project is a rare musical collaboration between Hans Zimmer and A. R. Rahman, a pairing that has significantly heightened expectations.
