Ramayana: Ranbir Kapoor and Yash’s Minimal Screen Time is a Powerful Creative Choice

The highly anticipated film Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Yash as Raavan, has generated significant buzz due to its grand scale and mega star cast. Interestingly, the film’s creative team has chosen to minimize screen time between the two lead actors, staying true to the original Valmiki text.

According to sources close to the production, the makers have decided to keep Lord Ram and Raavan’s worlds apart, with their stories unfolding in parallel until destiny brings them face-to-face in the climactic battle. This creative choice adds a compelling narrative depth to the film, heightening the excitement for their ultimate face-off.

By charting their separate journeys, one embodying dharma and virtue, the other driven by ego and power, the film allows their arcs to develop independently, making their eventual clash even more powerful. This approach prioritizes authenticity and promises a deeply immersive retelling of the legendary tale.

The film is being made in two installments, with the first part releasing in Diwali 2026 and the second part in Diwali 2027. Ranbir Kapoor has already completed his portions, while Yash began filming after visiting the Mahakal Temple in Ujjain. The production is currently progressing on huge sets in the city, with a stellar ensemble cast, grand immersive sets, and world-class VFX.
