Advance bookings for Namit Malhotra’s much-anticipated film Ramayana: Rise of a Legend officially began across India on October 20. On the occasion of the Dasara festival, the film’s team also released a special video featuring Rocking Star Yash in his ‘Ravana’ avatar. In this new video, Yash’s powerful and intense portrayal of Ravana, the mighty king of Lanka, captivates the audience.
According to Hindu mythology, ‘Tandava’ is the divine dance associated with Lord Shiva, symbolizing creation, preservation and destruction. ‘Shiva Tandava Stotram’ holds immense significance for Ravana, who is an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva. This special Dasara unveiling offers a beautiful glimpse of how Ravana’s devotion, strength and captivating personality have been portrayed on the big screen. Yash’s new look and intensity have further heightened expectations for the film.
Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor as ‘Lord Shri Ram’ and Rocking Star Yash as ‘Ravana’ are among the major attractions of this grand epic. The film’s team is gearing up to bring the story of the Ramayana, which holds an extremely important place in India’s cultural heritage, to the screen on a grand scale.
This special musical unit has been released under the titles ‘Rise of Asura’ in Hindi, ‘Ravana Tandava’ in Kannada, and ‘Ravana Tandavam’ in Tamil and Telugu. The Hindi version features vocals by Vishal Dadlani, with lyrics penned by Dr. Kumar Vishwas. Similarly, the Kannada version features vocals by Ravi Basrur, with lyrics by Karthik Saragur.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, this ambitious film is being produced through a collaboration between Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios, eight-time Oscar-winning DNEG, and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations. Ramayana will be released in two parts, with Part 1 scheduled for a worldwide release on November 5, 2026.
