A post shared by The World Of Ramayana (@worldoframayana)
Namit Malhotra, an 8-time Oscar winner and the visionary behind global hits like Dune, Oppenheimer, and Interstellar, backs Ramayana. This project is more than just a film; it's a global event rooted in Indian storytelling, bolstered by world-class collaborators. The film is directed by Nitesh Tiwari.
The film features Oscar-winner Hans Zimmer (making his Bollywood debut), in collaboration with AR Rahman, stunt director Guy Norris (Mad Max: Fury Road), and an international team of creatives. Ramayana unites a dream team to reimagine India's greatest epic for a global audience.
Starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, Ramayana is the biggest Indian cinematic event to date.
Nitesh Tiwari, director of the film, said, 'Ramayana is a story we've all grown up with. It carries the soul of our culture. Our aim was to honour that soul — and present it with the cinematic scale it truly deserves. As a filmmaker, it's both a huge responsibility and a heartfelt honour to bring it to life. . It's a tale that has endured across millennia because it speaks to something deep and eternal within us. We are not simply making a film. We are offering a vision — one rooted in reverence, shaped by excellence, and made to transcend borders."
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios and the 8-time Oscar-winning VFX studio DNEG, in association with Yash's Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana is being filmed for IMAX. Part 1 will release worldwide in Diwali 2026, followed by Part 2 in Diwali 2027.

Fatima Sana Shaikh On Women Marrying After 30: "The Taboo Is A Little Less Now"
Fatima Sana Shaikh recently shared her thoughts on the evolving societal landscape surrounding marriage. The actress shared that the perceptions around women and marriage after the age of 30 are shifting. While traditional views are still prevalent, there's a growing acceptance of individual choices. Fatima Sana Shaikh Opens Up About Marriage After 30 In an interview with IANS, Fatima Sana Shaikh claimed that society's expectation of an individual to get married by a certain age is far less now than it used to be. Fatima Sana Shaikh said, "It happens, but it's less, I think. Earlier, it used to be more prominent. Now, relationships have changed, the meanings of relationships have changed. A lot more people are okay to be alone or they are concentrating on different things. So, society is accepting that. I don't know if it's right or wrong, but I think the taboo is a little less." Sharing a sweet memory of her first love, Fatima recalled that her then-partner once decorated the path from the door to the room with flowers on her birthday. "There were flowers everywhere, and around the cake, there were candles lit all over," she recalled. However, the surprise didn't go as planned as most of the candles had melted away by the time she arrived. "We had to clean it all up later," the actress said. Fatima described it as a special kind of love that was "simple and sincere." She added, "I was very young and didn't even have Facebook or Instagram back then." About Fatima Sana Shaikh's Work On the work front, Fatima Sana Shaikh starrer Dino is currently running in theatres. Directed by Anurag Basu, the film also features Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma and Ali Fazal in key roles.

How Bharti Singh Lost 15 Kg In 10 Months With A Simple Weight Loss Diet
Popular Indian comedian and television host Bharti Singh, known for her overweight persona and self-deprecating humour, stunned her fans with her weight loss transformation. Inspiring millions, Bharti Singh's weight loss journey was 10 months long, and she reportedly lost around 15 kg. In a podcast with YouTuber and actor Prajakta Koli, Bharti revealed her weight loss on an episode of Bharti TV Podcast. Bharti Singh On Her Weight Loss Journey She had shared that her weight loss journey was not just about shedding the extra kilos but also about improving her overall health. She revealed that she was dealing with asthma and diabetes, but she feels healthier and more energetic after losing weight. "I have reduced my weight from 91 kg to 76 kg. I am also surprised that I have lost so much weight. But I am happy that I am feeling healthy and fit now. I do not get breathless now and feel lightheaded. My diabetes and asthma are also under control," she said in an interview. When Bhart Singh Revealed Her Weight Loss Secrets Intermittent Fasting When Bharti Singh surprised her fans and the industry with her weight loss transformation in 2021, she credited intermittent fasting for it. "I do not eat anything from 7 pm to 12 noon. I eat in the afternoon. I have eaten a lot of food for 30-32 years, and after that, I gave time to my body for one year and accepted everything," she further added. Intermittent fasting is believed to be one of the most effective weight loss methods. A 2022 study published in the Nutrients found that short-term fasting, such as intermittent fasting, can help improve your metabolism, which in turn can help you burn more calories. She Didn't Skip Meals Bharti Singh revealed that she made sure to add everything she loved in her diet and eat her favourite dishes, but in moderation. Skipping meals to lose weight can sometimes backfire. Studies have found that eating in moderation can help, but skipping dinner or any meal together can lead to problems. Portion Control Bharti Singh shared she practised portion control to avoid overeating and keep a check on her calorie intake. It is a method in which a person manages and controls the amount of food they eat during meals. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, practising portion control can help you maintain a moderate weight. Stick To Meal Timings Many people underestimate the importance of sticking to maintaining meal timings, but Bharti Singh made sure to follow them to the T. She made sure to follow her meal timings, even on hectic days, and avoid eating at odd times. And this helped her lose weight. Bharti Singh Shares How She Feels After Her Weight Loss Losing a whopping 15 kg can be a source of pride and happiness for many, and it was the same for comedian Bharti Singh. She had revealed, " Main toh bahut khush hoon patli hoke. Kitna maza ata hai jab crop top mil jate hain apne size ke. Mere ko bada maza ata hai, ache ache kapde mil jate hain (I am so much happier after losing weight. I find crop tops in my size now. I enjoy that I get to wear nice clothes)." While weight loss will not promise happiness, it may improve your health, which in turn can make you feel good about yourself. But remember that every individual's journey is different, and you may not see the same results with what Bharti Singh has followed. It is crucial to check with your doctor to ensure that the weight loss diet or fitness regimen you pick caters to the needs of your body.
