Rishab Shetty has stepped into the spotlight for Ramayana, Nitesh Tiwari’s long-anticipated cinematic retelling of the ancient epic, calling it a ‘proud moment for Indian cinema’ in a social media post shared Thursday morning. The actor-filmmaker, known for his work on Kantara and Pushpa, didn’t just offer a generic well-wish — he named names, listing the film’s ensemble cast: Yash, Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol, Rakul Preet Singh, Vivek Oberoi, Anupam Kher, and Kajal Aggarwal.
He also acknowledged producer Namit Malhotra, director Nitesh Tiwari, and composers A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer, underscoring the project’s high-profile stature. His message carried more than admiration. It was a declaration of faith in the ambition behind the film. 'There’s something truly special about seeing our timeless stories and culture brought to life on such a grand scale,' he wrote, echoing sentiments that have begun to circulate among industry insiders.
The film, described as a two-part epic with large-scale production values and deep roots in Indian mythology, is being positioned not just as entertainment but as a cultural landmark. While no official release date has been announced, though sources suggest a late 2026 window, the momentum is building. Shetty’s endorsement comes amid growing interest across Bollywood, with members of the fraternity extending support ahead of what could be one of the most ambitious mythological adaptations in recent memory.
