And then I met him one day in Goa when Namit and I went there, while he was doing a recce of a film he was doing. And I realised that this man is just not a superstar, an actor; he is a cinema man. He is somebody who understands writing; he understands storytelling, he understands acting, he understands how to produce a film, how to direct a film, how to act in a film."
Helmed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios and Yash's Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana is all set to hit the screens on Diwali, on November 5. Meanwhile, the second part will be released on Diwali 2027.
