Ashutosh Rana's dream role brings Ramayana to life in Humare Ram
It's been a busy year for acclaimed Indian actor Ashutosh Rana, 57. From the rom-com Loveyapa to historical blockbuster Chhaava and the spy thriller War 2, releasing on Thursday, the actor's seamless transition between genres and characters is proof of why he remains one of the country's most respected performers. "But I'm not talented. I'm just greedy," he jokes. Yet, despite his success on the big screen, Rana's proudest role this year is on stage, where he stars as the complex antagonist Ravan in the theatrical spectacle Humare Ram. Based on the Indian epic Ramayana, the show – which has been performed more than 270 times across India in the past year – will make its international debut with a four-day run at the Dubai Opera starting on Thursday. Weaving together lesser-known episodes from the ancient tale with high-tech production and visuals, Humare Ram offers a fresh and immersive retelling of the Ramayana – a tale of duty, devotion and the triumph of good over evil. It follows prince Ram, a major Hindu deity, through his 14-year exile with his wife Sita and brother Lakshman. When Sita is abducted by the demon king Ravan, a bloody war ensues. The epic ends with Ram's victory and triumphant return to Ayodhya as king. Starring alongside Rana are playwright Rahull R Bhuchar as Ram and Harleen Kaur Rekhi as Sita, among others. The show also features music by some of the biggest names in India, including Sonu Nigam, Shankar Mahadevan and Kailash Kher. For Rana, best known for his villainous roles in films such as Dushman and Sangharsh, playing Ravan was a lifelong dream. 'He's a character with many shades and depths," he tells The National. 'Ravan has all the sur [notes]. Like music has seven surs, missing even one makes the orchestra incomplete. Ravan embodies all those surs." Rana's fascination with the Ramayana began early in his career in the 1990s, when he honed his craft as a theatre actor in Ram Leela performances or dramatic enactments of Ram's life traditionally staged during the autumn festival of Navratri. In 2020, he authored the book Ramrajya, which explores the concept of an ideal state based on Ram's values. He views Ramayana not just as a religious story, but as a guide to dharma or the way of life that elevates both the individual and society. 'If you want to be a better friend, leader or human being, Ramayana offers all those lessons. It's full of grace, gratitude and the wisdom to live a meaningful life," he says. "If you want to establish or polish yourself, Ramayana has all the ingredients. For example, you are a journalist and I am an actor. If we follow the dharma of journalists or actors, we will produce fantastic work. Ramayana teaches how to follow and fulfill dharma." Rana says the Humare Ram 's universal themes, combined with its grand scale, have helped broaden its appeal with a cross-section of audiences – and even sparked renewed interest in Indian theatre. " Humare Ram 's huge commercial success showed people theatre can be a thriving industry. Now many big production houses are investing in theatre," he says. "And now we're taking Humare Ram abroad, including Dubai, and I hope many more artists will be doing shows internationally. "You need content that touches the soul and heart. If the content is bad, even a big-budget film won't succeed. If the content is fantastic and presented with grace and honour, people will love it and support it." As an actor, it makes little difference whether he's performing before a camera or on stage, he adds. "Honesty is the most important thing, whether on film or on stage," he says. "The biggest difference is the communication and connection you get from performing live. That interaction is satisfying and unique to theatre. "Also, meeting people who've transformed because they saw this show is very fulfilling. If this art can make someone a better human being, that's fantastic." Playing Ravan has not only been fulfilling, but also an education, he says. And even after 276 shows over one and a half years, he's not slowing down any time soon. "Acting is my passion, which luckily is also my profession and education. When your education, passion, and profession meet, you don't get tired. And this role is exactly that for me," he says. "There are billions of people in the world. I want every human being to watch this play at least once. We will take it as far as we can." Humare Ram is running at the Dubai Opera from Thursday to Sunday, with two shows a day on the last two days. The show is performed in Hindi. Tickets start at Dh180.

BTS Jin's 'concert' in UAE: Superfans spend hours making freebies for cinemagoers
What comes to mind when you think of a concert? Loud music, fun outfits, and dancing might be it for most. For K-pop fans, it's all that and community, freebies, and new friendships. While the stars themselves have not arrived, fans are bringing concert culture to life through live viewings held at local theatres. From BTS' j-hope's concert viewing to BTS' Jin's live session earlier this weekend, fans have been ecstatic to build a community here. Some spent up to 9 hours creating things they could hand out to fans. "For me its the joy of giving, and that I'm giving something related to BTS is even greater joy for a crafter like me," Filipino expat in Dubai Irene Isabel Luzon says. The 32-year-old has been giving out freebies within the community since 2022, when she started her crafting business. Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels. For this event, Luzon put together purple string bags with photocards of Jin, stickers, candies and pearl hairclips. "I usually spend about Dh50-70 on supplies, and this time it took me about 2-3 hours to prepare the freebies." Over the years, Irene has made many "instant friends" by handing out these freebies. Across the hall, in another theatre, Lara A., a 23-year-old media professional was giving out little bags with a handmade bookmark, bracelet and a lavender candle. "My friend and I spent nearly Dh150 on these," she said, adding that they both spent nearly nine hours combined to put all the things together and create the goodies by hand. "I think this is what brings us all together, the joy of community and spreading happiness. I love seeing their faces light up as I hand them a little bag." Meanwhile, in Abu Dhabi, BTS fan Percy, was delighted to receive several freebies. "They gave away 'Run SeokJin' VIP lanyards, 'concert tickets', Jin Ramen and a supertuna headband." "Can you imagine everyone was wearing a 'Super Tuna' headband inside. It's so cool, pretty and funny at the same time," the Senior Jewellery Consultant who travelled all the way from Ajman said. The screening saw relatively full theatres, with fans bringing out their ARMY Bombs (lightsticks for concerts) as they sang along to Jin's popular tunes. The Run Seokjin Episode Tour was inspired by Jin's YouTube variety show called 'Run Jin', where he completes challenges and plays games with guests. In the concert, he translates that by speaking playing games with concertgoers, like 'guess the song' and 'spin the wheel'. TikTok user 'percruz' took to the social media platform to share how ARMYs in Abu Dhabi brought out their lightsticks to sing along at the concert. Watch below: Ani Rai, a 34-year-old Nepalese expat, said: "Even though I couldn't attend Jin's concert in person, I'm so grateful I had the chance to watch the live viewing in the theater. I can't even put into words how happy and excited I was seeing him on the big screen surrounded by fellow ARMYs. It was one of the best moments I could imagine." As fans walked out of the theatre, they hoped for the band to perform in the UAE, as they discussed how the country is an ideal location to host such an event. Concert in UAE? The UAE is not immune to the speculation, with many here hoping that BTS returns to the Emirates, especially considering their KCON performance in Abu Dhabi in 2016 marked one of their earliest global stops. In June, Yu Ri Park, Deputy Consul General of the Republic of Korea in Dubai, spoke to Khaleej Times in a personal capacity. She said that there is a "possibility that BTS will perform in the UAE in the future". She elaborated that the "UAE is rapidly emerging as a regional hub for Hallyu" and continued to say that the nation "is well positioned to host such a popular and attractive event as it has a world-class logistics and transportation infrastructure". Marn, an expat who was walking out of a block screening hosted by fanclub BangtanUAE, said that she is hoping for a concert in the country, and that the major band could be hosted at Etihad Arena, that has seen many other major celebrities perform. Saving up to see the band Fans are "really excited" and also "scared" as ARMY gets increasingly competitive to grab tickets for the much awaited concert tour in 2026. On the other hand, 21-year-old Indian student Jiya, says that she "can't express her feelings in words" as she walked out of the concert live viewing. She anticipates that tickets for their concerts in 2026 will be "sold out in 2-3 minutes", but is saving to see them in Korea, regardless. Adrianna, an expat from Peru, says that she will try to get tickets "anywhere". The 26-year-old plans to save for the upcoming tour and is hoping to catch the K-pop stars either in the UAE or South America.
