Rakul Preet Singh is Surpanaka in Ramayana — and she’s already drawing attention for the role. The film, releasing in Telugu as Ramayanam on October 27, 2027, marks her latest entry into a pan-Indian epic that also stars Yash, Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol, and Ranbir Kapoor. Her portrayal of Raavan’s sister comes with a twist: in the theatrical trailer, she’s seen with a visibly broken nose, a physical detail that’s sparking early buzz.

According to Yash, who shares screen space with her, Rakul has a meaty role in the film, though exact plot details remain under wraps. Dil Raju, the prominent producer-distributor, will handle the Telugu release. The casting has ignited debate online, with some viewers arguing Rakul’s presence carries more gravitas than Sai Pallavi’s Sita, a claim not backed by any official statement.

Meanwhile, at a recent event, Dil Raju mistakenly referred to Ranbir Kapoor as Ranveer Singh, adding a layer of off-script chaos to the promotional cycle. The film’s Hindi version is expected to follow later, but no release date has been confirmed yet. What happens next? The first poster drops soon, and with it, the real test of whether this version of the Ramayana can stand up to the legends.
