Veteran theatre and television actress Soni Razdan has publicly voiced her excitement over the upcoming Hindi film 'Ramayana', directed by Nitesh Tiwari and starring Ranbir Kapoor in the titular role of Lord Rama. The film, currently one of the most anticipated projects in Indian cinema, is slated for release in November and will unfold across two parts.
Razdan, who is also Ranbir Kapoor’s mother-in-law, described the ambitious undertaking as a "fantastic journey." Speaking about the scale and vision of the project, she remarked that the film appears poised to explore aspects of the ancient epic that audiences have not witnessed on screen before. Her comments come amid growing buzz around the production, which has been in development for some time and has drawn considerable attention from filmmakers and audiences alike.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, known for handling large-scale storytelling with emotional depth in previous films, 'Ramayana' is being positioned as a landmark attempt to bring the timeless Hindu scripture to contemporary cinema. The two-part format allows the narrative to unfold at a measured pace, covering the significant episodes of Lord Rama’s life including his exile, the abduction of Sita, and the battle against Ravana.
Ranbir Kapoor’s casting as the divine hero has generated substantial discussion across entertainment circles, with many viewers tracking the progress of the film closely. Industry observers note that adapting the Ramayana — one of the most widely read and revered epics in Indian culture — is inherently a high-stakes endeavour, given the deep personal and religious associations audiences hold with the source material.
Soni Razdan, a respected figure in Indian performing arts with decades of work in theatre, television, and film, has long been associated with serious dramatic roles. Her public endorsement of the project adds a layer of credibility and visibility to an already highly watched production. Details regarding the rest of the cast, music, and further plot information continue to be released gradually by the filmmakers.
