Rajamouli heaps praises
Rajamouli took to his social media handle and lauded Ramayana. He shared that it is a story every Indian storyteller grows up aspiring to narrate. He also expressed joy that Nitesh Tiwari and Namit Malhotra are bringing it to the screen on such a grand scale. While each actor brings the timeless characters (in Ramayana) to life with depth, Rajamouli added that he is looking forward to the film and wished them good luck.
Rajamouli’s Ramayana connect
Rajamouli is connecting with the epic Ramayana through a major extended sequence in his upcoming film Varanasi, starring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. The globetrotting action adventure features a massive, 20-minute sequence inspired by the Ramayana. The director shared that seeing Mahesh Babu transformed into Lord Rama for the sequence gave him goosebumps. Rajamouli further noted that he was never completely satisfied with earlier adaptations of epics like the Ramayana, and that he wanted to present the emotions with a unique visual scale. And hence, his comments on the Nitesh Tiwari directorial garnered significant attention
