Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana Brings a Shocking Twist Fans Didn’t See Coming
Bollywood is buzzing and this time it’s not just another remake — it’s Ramayana and it’s massive. Under the direction of Dangal’s celebrated Nitesh Tiwari, this mythological masterpiece is poised to light up screens around the world. Two parts. Two years. Two megastars. Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram. KGF’s Yash — as Ravan. But there’s a twist that’s making fans scratch their heads and hearts: the two leads won’t be seen together. At all.
Why No Ram vs Ravan Face-Off?
Sources close to the film say this creative call comes straight from the soul of the original Valmiki Ramayana. As per the epic, Ram and Ravan don’t encounter each other until the decisive fight in Lanka. Their worlds were totally separate. Ram gets to know about Ravan after Sita is abducted. And by the time they face off, destiny’s already written most of the story.
So yeah, no epic mid-film confrontations, no fiery exchange of looks between the heroes. Instead, their stories unfold side by side — separately — until fate finally brings them together in the climax. Risky move maybe but bold, absolutely.
Sai Pallavi as Sita and Sunny Deol as Hanuman — But Will They Share Scenes?
It’s rumored that Yash will appear with Sai Pallavi and Sunny Deol on screen. But Ranbir’s scenes with them? Still under wraps. This lack of clarity is intensifying the mystery — and raising expectations.
Two Parts, Two Diwalis: Here’s the Release Plan
Mark your calendars. Ramayana Part 1 hits theatres on Diwali 2026 and Part 2 is lined up for Diwali 2027. Think about it — two festive seasons, one gigantic saga. And with world-class VFX, massive sets and a storyline staying true to its roots, this could be the most ambitious Indian film ever made.
So, yes. If you were expecting a classic hero-villain standoff in every other scene, think again. This one’s playing the long game. And honestly that might just make the final battle all the more explosive.
Stay tuned. This Ramayana is gonna be epic.
